At the current stage of development of the reconstructive-plastic surgery, to remove combined soft-tissue—bone defects, a combined thoracodorsal flap is used most often. This flap includes, as a bone fragment, the lateral edge of scapula, which is supplied with blood by the arterial branch surrounding the scapula. However, our investigations of the blood supply of thoracodorsal flap from the system of thoracodorsal angiosom indicate that the inferior angle of scapula is supplied directly from the system of thoracodorsal artery. Based on the results obtained, we concluded that the inferior angle of scapula is supplied by the branch of the thoracodorsal artery, which has a length of (54.0 ± 11.8) mm and a diameter of (1.3 ± 0.3) mm and can be included in the combined thoracodorsal flap.

Objective Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the foot and ankle remains challenging. This study was performed to investigate the technical points and clinical effects of a double-pedicle propeller flap for repair of foot and ankle soft tissue defects. Methods We used five fresh calf specimens to investigate the anatomical and operative aspects of a double-pedicle propeller flap. Eighteen patients with soft tissue defects in the foot and ankle subsequently underwent defect repair with double-pedicle propeller flaps. Results The anatomical study showed that the peroneal artery perforators and the sural nerve bundle (two blood supply systems) provided the theoretical anatomical basis for the double-pedicle propeller flap. The relative positions of the peroneal artery perforators and the sural nerve bundle differ according to the peroneal artery perforating level. Flap rotation in different directions can reduce or prevent the pedicles from compressing each other. All flaps survived, and three flaps developed local epidermal necrosis at the proximal end; these flaps healed after 1 to 2 weeks of dressing changes. The other 15 patients healed well. Conclusions The double-pedicle propeller flap can enhance the blood supply and venous return in the “big paddle” region of the flap, reducing the distal necrosis rate.

Object The blood supply of the lower spinal cord is heavily dependent on the artery of Adamkiewicz, which characteristically originates from one of the thoracolumbar segmental arteries. The aforementioned artery is of enormous clinical, surgical, and radiological importance, and the goal of this study was to elucidate the course and branches of the segmental artery that gives rise to this important vessel. Methods In this cadaveric, microsurgical anatomical study, the authors investigate and describe the course and branches of the artery of Adamkiewicz and the segmental branch from which it ultimately originates. A review of the literature is provided. Conclusions By documenting the microsurgical anatomy of these important vessels, this study facilitates an understanding of the anatomy that will aid in treatment planning for surgery of various lesions in this area.
