The paw pads of dogs and cats are specialized skin structures that provide cushioned, durable, weight-bearing surfaces. Otherwise normal limbs may be rendered useless when pad tissue is lost because of trauma or tumor resection. This article reviews previously described reconstructive techniques involving the movement of pad tissue into weight-bearing defects. In addition, a case series of single-stage digital pad transfer to replace all or part of metacarpal or metatarsal defects is reported. This technique was predictably successful with minimal complications in conjunction with complete tumor resection, although results in two cases of severe paw trauma were less favorable.
狗和猫的爪垫是特殊的皮肤结构，可提供有缓冲作用、耐用的负重表面。当爪垫组织因创伤或肿瘤切除而缺失时，原本正常的肢体可能会变得无用。本文回顾了先前描述的涉及将爪垫组织转移至负重缺损部位的重建技术。此外，还报告了一组病例，即采用单阶段趾垫转移术来替代全部或部分掌骨或跖骨缺损。尽管在两例严重爪部创伤中的效果不太理想，但该技术在与完整肿瘤切除联合应用时取得了可预见的成功，并发症极少。
