Masquelet technique combined with modified Sauve-Kapandji, negative pressure drainage and flap transplantation for the treatment of a Gustilo-Anderson III type C open fracture of the forearm: A case report
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine(2022)
摘要
Gustilo-Anderson III Type C open fracture is a high-energy injury with severe bone defects and extensive soft-tissue and vascular damage. Successful limb salvage remains challenging for surgeons due to the inherent risks of vascular damage, infection, nonunion and even amputation. The present case study reports on a 55-year-old male who presented with a Gustilo-Anderson III type C open fracture, which was successfully salvaged by a combined Masquelet and microsurgical approach. The modified Sauve-Kapandji technique was used to improve wrist mobility. Sufficient preoperative evaluation, a detailed surgical plan, positive revascularization, thorough debridement and prevention of complications are key to successful limb salvage. The range of motion test was excellent one year after surgery. The patient was able to take care of their daily life, return to performing a light-labor job and is satisfied with the function of the limb. Therefore, the Masquelet technique combined with modified Sauve-Kapandji technique, negative pressure drainage and skin-flap transplantation may be a reasonable and effective treatment for Gustilo-Anderson III type C open forearm fracture.
