[Pedicle ilio-inguinal axial flaps: clinical analysis of 140 cases].
Pedicle ilio-inguinal axial flaps were carried out in 140 cases with hand injury. The success rate of the operation was 97.85%. The authors consider that the high success rate was due to rare occurrence of vascular variation of the flap and more simplicity of the technique with less complications. This kind of flap could be used in cases of replacement of scar, acute injury and infective wound of hand. The donor area of ilio-inguinal flap is quite concealment. It is much better in cosmetic consideration. But still some disadvantages were existed such as fixation of the arm making discomfort to the patient, and bulky of the hand because of the subcutaneous fat in some cases.
