Flap reconstruction of distal lower extremity wounds in diabetic patients.

摘要: Lower extremity diabetic wounds have been a challenge to clinical surgeons because of the higher risk limb ischemia, soft-tissue infection, and loss caused by pathology disease. In published data, most commonly used reconstruction techniques include pedicled flaps, microsurgical muscle or musculocutaneous fasciocutaneous perforator flaps. However, there is still no consensus about which type flap should be preferred among various reconstructive options. It therefore aim this study review current articles describing distal lower in patients with diabetes survey reported results from literature.
