Hand Replantation

AV fistulae are extremely rare complications after hand replantation. In the case presented, the formation of an AV fistula did not occur immediately after the replantation, but after the insertion of the free lateral arm flap to the extensor surface of the replanted hand. This paper discusses the mechanisms responsible for the formation of AV fistulae.

Abstract Introduction and Methods The glabrous, thin, and pliable texture of lateral arm flap with no loss of any axial vessel of the limb renders it a good choice for hemiglossectomy defect reconstruction. The main caveat of this flap harvest is the loss of sensation in the distribution of posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve (PABCN). In this article, we present two strategic sites and techniques to preserve the integrity of PABCN and at the same time harvesting lateral arm flap with a lengthy lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm for the neurotization. The outcome of this function-preserving neurotized lateral arm free flap in the reconstruction of hemiglossectomy defects is analyzed and presented in this article. Results Ninety percent of the patients attained grade 3 score in objective assessment, leading to a significant p-value of 0.02 with this technique. All had preservation of sensation in the distribution of PABCN. Conclusion Our technique of harvest and neurotization has brought good functional recovery of the oral cavity with preservation of PABCN.
