Traumatic injuries of ear range from simple lacerations to complex avulsions and crush injuries. The complicating factors involved are cartilage involvement, poor vascularity of the region and need for high cosmetic satisfaction. Various techniques have been described for reconstruction of earlobe after traumatic injuries. Here, we describe the reconstruction of a partially avulsed pinna using the versatile Limberg flap with superior cosmetic outcomes. This is probably the first case to be described in literature to utilizing the Limberg flap for reconstruction of a traumatic avulsion of pinna.
耳部创伤性损伤范围从简单的撕裂伤至复杂的撕脱伤和挤压伤。涉及的复杂因素包括软骨受累、该区域血运差以及对高美容满意度的需求。针对创伤后耳垂重建已描述了多种技术。在此,我们描述使用通用的林贝格皮瓣重建部分撕脱的耳廓,获得了优异的美容效果。这可能是文献中首例描述利用林贝格皮瓣重建创伤性耳廓撕脱的病例。
