Microsurgery in hand and forearm reconstructive surgery.

Recent developments in microsurgery have provided new approaches to the management of severe injuries of the upper extremities. Free vascularized autotransplants used in the treatment of severe hand and forearm injuries have provided significant advantages over conventional methods, in terms of both treatment and functional outcomes. These advances have reduced the treatment time and provided more effective treatment for patients.

Restoration of the function of the cubital joint in extensive defects of bones and soft tissues using endoprosthesis and free skin grafts.

A new method of restoration of the function of the upper limb in extensive posttraumatic defects of bones and soft tissues of the cubital joint has been elaborated. The method is based on the excision of scar tissues with simultaneous implantation of the endoprosthesis of the K. M. Sivash type. The produced defect is covered by a free vascularized thoracodorsal skin-muscle transplant using the microstructural technique. Four operations have been performed so far. Clinical observations are reported. The method is efficient as it ensures reliable covering of the hinge part of the endoprosthesis by full-thickness skin, shortening the time of rehabilitation treatment 3-4 times and achieving more complete restoration of the function of the upper limb.
