Comparison of propeller flaps versus skin grafts for coverage of osteocutaneous fibula free flap donor site defects

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Authors compare use of propeller flaps versus skin grafts in defect coverage after fibula flap harvest.

Materials and Methods

Retrospective review of patients who received either PFPF or STSG. Primary predictor variable was technique, and secondary predictor variables were comorbidities. Primary outcome variable was flap/graft healing, and secondary outcome variables were cosmesis, adverse events, effect on activities of daily living (ADLs), pain, additional procedures, and cost. Statistical analysis performed via independent sample t tests, ANOVA, and χ 2 tests. Logistic regression analysis was performed.

Results

Study sample was 50 patients. PFPFs showed higher rates of success, while STSG showed increased complications and adverse events. Pain and ADLs significantly affected in STSG group. Cosmesis was better in the PFPF group, and overall cost was significantly higher in STSG group.

Conclusion

PFPFs show greater success rates, fewer complications, improved cosmesis, less pain, reduced cost compared to STSG for wound coverage after fibula flap harvest.
