Isolated Partial Heel pad injuries are very rare and management of heel pad injury is always a challenge to a surgeon because of its complex structure and precious blood supply. The goal of management is to preserve a viable heel pad for weight-bearing during normal gait.
A 46-year-old male sustained a right heel pad avulsion following motorcycle bike ac-cident. Examination showed contaminated wound, viable heel pad, and no bony injury. Within 6 h of trauma, we reattached partial heel pad avulsion using multiple Kirschner wires without wound closure and daily dressings. Full weight bearing started on 12th post-operative week.
A partial heel pad avulsion can be managed using multiple Kirschner wire which is cost-effective and simple method. Partial-thickness avulsion injury has a better prognosis as com-pared to full-thickness heel pad avulsion injury, due to preserved periosteal blood supply.
孤立性足跟垫部分损伤非常罕见,由于其结构复杂且血供珍贵,足跟垫损伤的处理对外科医生来说始终是一项挑战。处理的目标是保留一个有活力的足跟垫,以便在正常步态中负重。
一名46岁男性在摩托车事故后发生了右足跟垫撕脱伤。检查显示伤口有污染,足跟垫有活力,且无骨损伤。在创伤后6小时内,我们使用多根克氏针重新附着了部分足跟垫撕脱伤,未进行伤口缝合和每日换药。术后第12周开始完全负重。
部分足跟垫撕脱伤可采用多根克氏针处理,这是一种经济有效且简单的方法。由于保留了骨膜血供,与全层足跟垫撕脱伤相比,部分厚度撕脱伤的预后更好。
