  • Title: Reconstruction of a complex defect of the hand with two distinct segments of the scapula and a scapular fascial flap transferred as a single transplant.
    Author: Datiashvili RO, Shibaev EYu, Chichkin VG, Oganesian AR.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1992 Oct; 90(4):687-94. PubMed ID: 1410008.
    Abstract:
    To repair multiple defects of the metacarpal bones in combination with skin defects, a combined scapular free flap on a single vascular pedicle--the subscapular artery and the accompanying veins--can be used successfully. This flap includes two distinct bone segments of the lateral border of the scapula and a scapular fascial flap. Because of its long and mobile vascular pedicle, such a transplant can be used for one-stage reconstruction of the first and other metacarpal bones of the long fingers of the hand. The scapular fascial flap included in the transplant provides good functional and aesthetic results in combined injury of the skin of the hand.
