External fixation in reconstructive surgery: crossed leg flap

Introduction: Lower limb coverage defects are sometimes associated with disruption of vascular pedicles that make it impossible to perform free flaps. In these cases the crossed leg flap is a good therapeutic alternative. Material and methods: Two patients presented a coverage defect non-treatable w...

In these cases the crossed leg flap is a good therapeutic alternative. Material and methods: Two patients presented a coverage defect non-treatable with  microvascularized free flap after being operated on multiple times in the lower limbs. A cross leg flap was performed stabilizing both lower limbs with an external fixator. Both patients showed a satisfactory recovery returning to walk without additional help. Conclusion: Crossed leg flap stabilized by external fixation is a valid alternative for soft tissue defects. Introducción: Los defectos de cobertura del miembro inferior van asociados en ocasiones con la disrupción de los pedículos vasculares que imposibilitan la realización de colgajos libres, siendo en estos casos el colgajo de piernas cruzadas una buena alternativa terapéutica. Material y métodos: se presentan 2 casos de pacientes que tras ser intervenidos en múltiples ocasiones en los miembros inferiores, presentaban un defecto de cobertura no tratable con un colgajo libre microvascularizado. Se realizó un colgajo de piernas cruzadas estabilizando ambas extremidades inferiores con un fijador externo. Ambos pacientes mostraron una recuperación satisfactoria con una vuelta a la deambulación sin ayudas adicionales. Conclusión: El colgajo de piernas cruzadas estabilizado mediante fijación externa es una alternativa válida para defectos de partes blandas. Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
