Abstract
Background: The repair of diabetic foot defects (DFD) is a major challenge in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in clinical efficacy of different flap techniques in repairing DFD wounds, and to compare the difference in clinical efficacy of anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTP) in repairing DFD and non-DFD.
Methods: This study is a retrospective clinical study of different types of flap reconstruction in patients with DFD admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2021. A total of 40 patients with DFD and 43 patients with non-DFD were included in this study. Detailed preoperative basic information, intraoperative details, postoperative complications and long-term follow-up results were collected.
Result: The comorbidities, wound infection and wound duration of DFD group were more serious than those of non-DFD group. In addition, the incidence of complications was higher in DFD group, the wound healing time was longer, the aesthetic evaluation, the functional recovery rate of ankle joint and the sensory recovery effect of flaps were worse.
Conclusion: In this study, it is concluded that different flap techniques can obtain better clinical efficacy in repairing DFD wounds. Compared with non-DFD wounds, the postoperative risk of DFD wounds using free ALTP flaps is higher, but the risk can be reduced by reasonable preoperative vascular examination. Free flap can deal with various irregular wounds and provide more options for clinical repair.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues.
Orthopaedic research is conducted at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that complement clinical applications.
JOSR encourages the publication of multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines, which will be the trend in the coming decades.
