Comparison of the Vascularity of Fasciocutaneous Tissue and Muscle for Coverage of Open Tibial Fractures
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 10/05/09
Harry LE et al. – The authors' data show that the more advanced healing of fractures covered by muscle compared with fasciocutaneous tissue is not related to the vascularity of the tissues, as the latter had a higher vascular density at all time points. Therefore, provided that a flap has sufficient vascularity to effectively reconstitute the soft–tissue envelope, other factors may be important in specifically promoting fracture healing.
