| Popis: | In four complex cases of extremity reconstruction, we have been able to overcome the problems of combined bone and soft-tissue loss and length discrepancy by a combination of free-tissue transfer and the Ilizarov method of slow distraction. It is our observation that gradual distraction of a free tissue is a safe and viable procedure; the free tissue tolerates the pins of the circular external fixator well, and there is an equal degree of distraction and regeneration of the transferred free tissue and the native recipient tissue without evidence of wound dehiscence. Corticotomy through free tissue and in close proximity to vascularized bone is safe, with the subsequent bone regeneration not unlike that of normal bone. Manipulation by slow distraction does not appear to compromise the vasculature of the recipient bed for later microsurgical procedures or endanger the axial flow pattern of the transferred free tissue. |
