Abstract

Management of severe traumatic lower extremity injuries remains a considerable challenge. Free tissue transfer is now a standard part of reconstruction for Gustilo IIIB and IIIC injuries. There is limited information on arterial injury patterns in this population. We undertook a review of our experience to gain insight on vascular injury patterns and surgical outcomes. A 26-year retrospective analysis was performed of all lower extremity Gustilo IIIB and IIIC injuries requiring microvascular reconstruction at New York University Medical Center. Patient demographics, Gustilo classification, angiographic findings (conventional/computed tomographic angiography/magnetic resonance angiography), recipient vessels, elapsed time from injury, flap choices, and outcomes were examined. Two hundred twenty-two free flaps on 191 patients were performed from September 1982 until March 2008. There were 151 males and 40 females ranging in age from 4 to 83 years (median age 33 years). Patients sustained either Gustilo IIIB (170 patients) or IIIC (21 patients) open fractures. One hundred fifty-four patients had angiograms (78.2% IIIB, 100% IIIC). Sixty-six (42.9%) had normal 3-vessel runoff and 88 (57.1%) were abnormal. Sixty-one patients (31.9%)...Continue Reading
