Abstract:
In the article is analyzed the experience of treatment of 211 patients with traumata, which are the results of thermal and irradiation foot injuries. 30 patients were subjected to microsurgical reconstruction with application of complex of tissular transplants. There were differentiated 3 types of foot tissue injuries, determining transplants and operative technique selection. It has been determined that the closure of ulcerous defects in case of post-thrombotic disease is possible with utilization of radial graft of forearm on long venous pedicle. Prevention of venous anastomosis thrombosis is contributed to by formation of peripheral arteriovenous anastomosis in the transplant. Impartment of the points of fixation of the muscular part with the locomotive nerve suture contributes to the increase of adequate reliability of musculocutaneous graft. Utilization of osseous transplant of iliac crest allows to perform an orthopaedic correction of the lost anterior part of foot and prevents limb amputation.
