Abstract:
:This study was comprised of 9 diabetic patients with 10 infected foot ulcers, including osteomyelitis in 4 limbs and gangrene in 3 limbs. Adequate debridement of these complicated wounds inevitably resulted in exposure of bones or tendons. All defects were successfully reconstructed with free gracilis muscle flaps covered with split-thickness skin grafts. No recurrence of ulcer or infection was noted in the muscle-transplanted area during the follow-up period. Laser Doppler perfusion monitor measurement showed that the perfusion unit of the denervated free muscle flap increased to a peak at the second week after transplantation; the neovascularization of the grafted skin, the progressive decrease of the muscle swelling, and the decreased interstitial pressure may be the main contributing factors. The perfusion unit of the muscle flap reached equilibrium with the surrounding tissue at about 8 weeks after microsurgical transfer. Lower extremity amputation is a major health problem in the diabetic population. The microvascular free-muscle transfer was proved to play an effective and important role in limb salvage in diabetic patients with infected foot ulcers. The gracilis muscle flap was recommended due to its lack of bulkiness and minimal donor site deformity.
