Abstract

Objective   The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical results of flaps based on the perforator located at the snuff box to cover soft tissue defects on the hand.   Methods   Between March 2005 and March 2013, based on the anatomic study of distal arterial perforators of forearm, 27 patients with soft-tissue defects on the hand underwent reconstruction with the flaps based on the perforator located at the snuff box The etiology of injury: 15 cases were caused by  machines, eight by traffic accident, 4 by explosion. The defect location was as follows: 13 at the dorsal hand, 3 at the palm, 11 at the first web. The defect size ranged from 5.0 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×4.0 cm. The smallest dimension of the flaps was 6.0 cm×4.0 cm and the largest 14.0 cm×6.0 cm. The rotation point was at the wrist joint level.  Results   26 cases of total 27 clinical application cases achieved primary healing; only one case obtained secondary healing. Postoperative following-up of the patients ranged from 2 to 12 months. all flaps survived completely with good color and the appearance and function were  satisfactory. The donor site healed without morbidity after reconstruction with skin-grafting.   Conclusion   tThe flap based on the perforator located at the snuff box  is an ideal flap for repairing soft tissue defects of distal segment of hands.
