Lower extremity defects are challenging to reconstruct. The keystone perforator island flap proves useful in difficult cases. Traditionally, a handheld Doppler is used to confirm perforator vessel(s) within the flap but has disadvantages including low sensitivity/specificity. Surgeons can use thermal imaging to localize "hot spots" on the skin, corresponding to perforators. FLIR ONE (FLIR Systems Inc., Wilsonville, OR) is a portable thermal camera with high concordance with computed tomographic angiography. In this case, when faced with handheld Doppler failure, we used intraoperative thermal imaging to continue planning and raising of a complex lower extremity keystone perforator island flap.
下肢缺损的重建具有挑战性。关键穿支岛状皮瓣在困难病例中证明是有用的。传统上,使用手持式多普勒仪来确认皮瓣内的穿支血管,但存在包括灵敏度/特异性低等缺点。外科医生可以使用热成像来定位皮肤上与穿支相对应的“热点”。FLIR ONE(FLIR Systems Inc.,威尔逊维尔,俄勒冈州)是一种与计算机断层血管造影高度一致的便携式热成像相机。在本病例中,当手持式多普勒仪无法使用时,我们使用术中热成像继续计划并掀起一个复杂的下肢关键穿支岛状皮瓣。
