摘要
The inferior three slips of the serratus anterior muscle have been used as a free tissue transfer in 18 patients for the reconstruction of dorsal and palmar defects in the hand. Mean follow-up was 2.8 years. There were 12 18 flaps for palmar coverage and 6 18 for dorsal coverage. All flaps survived. On the basis of this experience we conclude that this flap has three attributes making it suitable for palmar and dorsal metacarpal resurfacing: (1) low donor site morbidity, (2) the three separate slips are easily divisible for contouring, and (3) durability and adhesion provide a stable resurfacing for grasp. © 1990.
