경골에 시행한 생비골 및 생피부편 이식의 임상적 연구

Clinical Study of Vascularized Osteocutaneous Fibular Transfer to the Tibia

고려대학교 의과대학 정형외과학 교실에서 광범위한 연부조직결손을 동반한 감염된 경골결손 34례에 대하여 생비골 및 생피부편이식을 시행하고 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 국소염증이 완전히 조절되지 않은 상태에서도 생비골 및 생피부편 이식이 가능하였다. 2. 생비골 및 생피부편 이식술을 동시에 시행함으로써, 생피부편의 임상상태로 생비골 이식의 성공여부를 간접적으로 알 수 있었다. 3. 추시기간동안 이식된 비골은 비후되었으며, 이식골의 흡수는 없었다. 4. 경골을 부분절제한 경우에는 이식비골의 골절은 발생되지 않았다. 5. 이식된 비골의 비후는 수술부위의 국소염증 상태에 영향을 받는 것으로 사료되었다.

Recent advances in microsurgery have made it possible to provide a continued circulation of blood to the grafted bone so as to ensure viability. With the nutrient blood supply preserved, healing of the graft to the recipient bone is facilitated without the usual replacement of the graft by creeping substitution. We reviewed 34 cases of vascularized osteocutaneous fibular transfers to the infected tibial defect complicated with skin defect, which were performed from May, 1982 to January, 1992, and the following results were obtained: 1. Despite of uncontrolled bone infection with skin defect, the vascularized osteocutaneous fibular flap transfer could be performed. 2. In the vascularized osteocutaneous fibula transfer, the patency of anastomoses could be indirectly monitored by observing the color of the skin flap. 3. The vascularized fibula had been hypertrophied with bony union during the follow-up period of 13 months to 6 years and 4 months(average, 30 months) and there was no resorption of the grafted fibula. 4. There was no fracture of the grafted fibula in parti resection of involved tibia. 5. The hypertrophic potentiality of grafted fibula could be inhibited by the infection status as operation site.
