Eight cases, in which a new single-pedicled venous flap, based on the long saphenous vein, was used to close defects around the knee, are presented with the details of indications, size and survival. Of the eight cases, seven achieved their aim; five flaps survived completely, two had partial distal loss and one died completely. This clinical work is further confirmation that fasciocutaneous island flaps of fairly large dimensions, with a single cephalad vein, survive and can be used to cover defects in their adjacent areas.
本文介绍了8例采用基于大隐静脉的新型单蒂静脉皮瓣修复膝关节周围缺损的病例，并详细阐述了适应证、皮瓣大小及成活情况。8例患者中，7例达到预期目的；5例皮瓣完全成活，2例皮瓣远端部分坏死，1例皮瓣完全坏死。这项临床研究进一步证实，带有单一头静脉的相当大尺寸的筋膜皮岛状皮瓣能够成活，并可用于覆盖相邻区域的缺损。
