Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of anterolateral thigh perforator flap and abdominal pedicled flap repair for treating traumatic tissue defects of the hand. A total of 140 patients with hand trauma tissue defects were randomly divided (random number table) into Group A and Group B, with 70 cases in each group. Group A was given anterolateral thigh perforator flap repair, while Group B was given abdominal pedicled flap repair. The healing time of wounds in Group A was noted to be shorter than that in Group B (P<0.001). At one week after surgery, VAS score, serum IL-6 and TNF-a levels in Group A were 4 times lower than those in Group B (p<0.001 for all). Anterolateral thigh perforator flap repair works more effectively on traumatic tissue defects of the hands than abdominal pedicled flap repair.
