Abstract
Objective To explore the emergency strategy of microsurgical replantation to open degloving injuries in plantar soft tissue. Methods From July, 2013 to July, 2017, 5 patients with plantar degloving injury were treated by micro-replantation, 3 of which were injuried by traffic accident and 2 caused by crashed injury. After early debridement, 4 cases received anastomosis of blood vessels, and 1 treated with Venous Autograft to get recovery of blood circulation. The avulsion flaps were sutured without tension. Results Four flaps survived after plantar replantation, and 1 developed a partial necrosis and secondery repaird with skin graft. The plantar repair made sensory function preserved in the maximum extent. All patients were followed-up for 0.5-2.0 years. The appearance, elasticity and feel of flaps was good. Conclusion Complete debridement, early recovery of blood supply and maximum preservation of plantar tissue function should be the key to successful replantation of open plantar degloving injuries. Key words: Plantar degloving injury; Replantation; Repair; Microsurgical technique
