Abstract
The gracilis muscle is well suited to small and medium-sized soft tissue defects that cannot be adequately handled by simple rotational flaps and it will conform well to irregular contours, can be split longitudinally at both ends to allow cavities and awkwardly shaped spaces and can be transferred in part or in whole. The gracilis muscle used as a free muscle or musculocutaneous flap is small with a long, narrow contour and its vascular pedicle is a terminal branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery and vein. The aims of soft tissue reconstruction are to cover soft tissue defects, to clear up infection and to prepare for further surgical procedures. Authors have performed 12 gracilis muscle flaps in the lower extremities at Chonbuk National University Hospital from June 1994 through March 1998. The results were as follows. 1. 11 cases of 12(91.7%) were sustained from the crushing injury and secondary complications from the traffic accident. 2. The microsurgical anastomosis of one artery and two veins have performed in 6 cases(50%) of 12 and 11(91.7%) cases of 12 were successful at the third postoperative week and in the final result. 3. Gracilis muscle flap is the infetion-resistant and aesthetically acceptable performed in the lower leg 1/3 and the foot.
전북대학교병원 정형외과에서 1994년 6월부터 1998년 3월까지 하퇴부 원위 1/3 및 족부에 시행하였던 박근 유리조직 이식술 12례에 대하여 최소 6개월부터 최고 4년 9개월까지 추시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하퇴부 원위 1/3의 손상원인은 개방성 골절에 의한 뼈 및 연부조직노출이 4례(33.3%)였으며, 골절수술후 연부조직 괴사로 인한 2차 뼈 및 내고정물노출이 2례(16.7%)였고, 족부의 손상원인은 압궤손상 5례(41.7%), 골절치료시 발뒤꿈치의 압박괴사 1례(8.3%)였다. 2. 수여혈관은 하퇴부 원위 1/3에서는 전경골 동맥이 4례, 비골동맥과 족배동맥이 각각 1례였으며, 족부의 수여혈관은 족배동맥이 4례, 후 경골동맥이 2례였다. 수여정맥은 2개를 봉합함을 원칙으로 하였으나 하퇴부 원위 1/3에서 총 6례중 3례, 족부에서도 총 6례중 3례에서만 2개의 수여정맥 봉합술이 가능하였다. 3. 총 12례중 11례(91.7%)에서 술후 3주까지 관류(perfusion)가 가능하여 성공하였으며, 피부 이식술은 술 후 평균 22일만에 시행하였고, 재활운동은 술후 평균 32일만에 가능하였다.
