Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Severe dorsal defects often present complex reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional methods may be insufficient for extensive tissue loss.
  • Vascularized flaps offer a robust solution for tissue coverage and restoration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a single-stage transfer technique for severe dorsal defects.
  • To evaluate the utility of compound vascularized flaps incorporating tendon grafts.
  • To present the combined use of radial artery forearm flap and dorsalis pedis flap.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a compound vascularized flap approach for dorsal defect reconstruction.
  • Incorporated vascularized tendon grafts to restore functional and structural integrity.
  • Described the surgical technique involving the radial artery forearm flap and dorsalis pedis flap.

Main Results:

  • Successful single-stage transfer was achieved in cases of severe dorsal defects.
  • The compound flap provided adequate tissue coverage and vascular supply.
  • Integration of tendon grafts facilitated functional restoration.

Conclusions:

  • Compound vascularized flaps, including tendon grafts, are effective for severe dorsal defects.
  • The described technique offers a viable option for complex reconstructive scenarios.
  • This approach combines the benefits of forearm and foot flaps for optimal outcomes.
