Defect Coverage after Forequarter Amputation—A Systematic Review Assessing Different Surgical Approaches

Abstract: Autologous fillet flaps are a common reconstructive option for large defects after forequarter amputation (FQA) due to advanced local malignancy or trauma. The inclusion of osseous structures into these has several advantages. This article therefore systematically reviews reconstructive options after FQA, using osteomusculocutaneous fillet flaps, with emphasis on personalized surgical technique and outcome. Additionally, we report on a case with an alternative surgical technique, which included targeted muscle… Show more

“…Another mode of free flap assessment is reported by Huang et al who used a wireless bioelectrical impedance assessment system for the quantitative analysis of tissue status and potential vascular compromise following microsurgery [ 29 ]. Ehrl and co-authors address another clinically relevant problem—the challenging defect coverage after forequarter amputations—in a thorough review assessing different surgical approaches, including different flaps [ 30 ]. Adding another facete, Heinzel et al review the interplay of psychosocial factors and peripheral nerve lesions with their carefully considered and interesting title “beyond the knife“ [ 31 ].…”
