requiring skin flap surgery Explanation: Open lower leg fractures with soft-tissue defects requiring skin flap surgery What to know about a tibia fracture The shinbone or tibia is the long bone located in the lower leg between the knee and foot. Tibial fractures are common and usually caused by an injury or repetitive strain on the bone. Open fractures are fractures where a broken bone breaks through the skin. With closed fractures, the bone does not break the skin, though there may still be internal tissue damage. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321642.php ANKLE FRACTURES (REQUIRING SURGERY) http://www.threespiresphysiotherapy.co.uk/orthopaedics/ankle... The treatment of soft-tissue defects of the lower leg after a traumatic open tibial fracture https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2869440/ Skin grafts = A skin graft is a very thin layer of skin. skin flaps = A skin flap is a slightly thicker layer of skin. https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/soft-ti... A skin flap is healthy skin and tissue that is partly detached and moved to cover a nearby wound. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000743.htm Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where any type of tissue is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site with an intact blood supply. This is distinct from a graft, which does not have an intact blood supply and therefore relies on growth of new blood vessels. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(surgery) Bei der freien Lappenplastik wird ein Stück Haut, Fett- oder Muskelgewebe von einer Region des eigenen Körpers entnommen und zur Wiederherstellung des fehlenden Gewebes verwendet. Damit das Gewebestück an seiner neuen Position einheilen kann, muss es mit einer eigenen Blutversorgung (mindestens eine Arterie und eine Vene) entnommen werden. Man spricht hier vom “Gefässstiel“ des Lappens. https://www.swissparc.ch/de/behandlungen/rekonstruktive-eing... |
