Treatment and study plan
surgical reconstruction of a soft tissue defects by a pedicled flap
Procedureharvesting of a fasciocutaneous flap from the anterolateral aspect of thigh based on a perforators from the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery to reconstruct a neighboring soft tissue defect.
Primary outcomes
-
Flap Survival Rate
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
The percentage of flaps that survive completely without necrosis or partial loss. Complications will be graded (e.g., total flap loss, partial necrosis, or marginal necrosis).
Unit: Percentage. Measurement Tool: ruler/(Mesure).
Secondary outcomes
-
Range of Motion in Reconstructed Area
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Assessment of the range of motion in the reconstructed area. Unit: Degrees. Measurement Tool: Goniometer.
-
Strength in Reconstructed Area
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Evaluation of muscle strength in the reconstructed area. Unit: Newton (N). Measurement Tool: Dynamometer.
