Objective: To explore the clinical effects of simultaneous reconstruction of multiple joint scar contracture deformity of limb. Methods: From January 2010 to June 2018, 24 patients with multiple joint scar contracture deformity of the same limb were reconstructed in simultaneous operations in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, including 16 males and 8 females, aged 3-42 years, with 15 patients having deformities in the upper limbs and 9 patients having deformities in the lower limbs. One operation was performed to repair contracture deformity of axillary fossa and elbow in 3 patients, cubital fossa and palmar of wrist in 4 patients, cubital fossa and hand in 5 patients, palmar of wrist, palm, and palmar of finger in 3 patients, groin and medial knee in 2 patients, popliteal fossa and posterior ankle in 1 patient, and anterior ankle and dorsum of foot in 6 patients. After the release of various joint scar contractures, the area of skin defect was 140 to 580 cm(2). Autologous full-thickness skin grafts were used in 7 patients, autologous medium-thickness skin grafts were used in 4 patients, autologous full-thickness skin grafts combined with local skin flaps were used in 9 patients, and allogeneic acellular dermal matrix and autologous thin skin grafts were used in 4 patients. Comprehensive measures for rehabilitation were taken and the survival of the skin graft was observed after operation. Six months to eight years after the operation, all the patients were followed up for the functions of the affected limbs, among which the functions of the upper limbs were evaluated according to the trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association. The joint mobility, walking, and squatting function of lower extremity were examined after operation. Recurrence of contractures in all the affected limbs and reoperation were recorded. Results: The grafts survived after operation in 22 patients. Two patients had necrosis in small full-thickness skin area, of which one was healed by skin grafting after debridement, and the other one was healed after dressing changes. The deformity of scar contracture at each repaired joint was completely or partially corrected. During a follow-up for 6 to 96 months, the upper limb functions of 15 patients were rated excellent in 12 patients and good in 3 patients. Among the 9 patients of lower limb scar contractures, except for one 3-year-old child who experienced recurrence of medial knee scar contracture and underwent surgical release and skin grafting 5 years later, the remaining 8 patients basically recovered normal joint functions with pretty good outcomes. Conclusions: For continuous scar contracture deformity of multiple joints of the same limb, simultaneous surgical release and skin grafting can reduce operation frequency and obtain better outcomes of surgical operation.
目的： 探讨同期肢体多关节部位瘢痕挛缩畸形整复的临床效果。 方法： 2010年1月—2018年6月中南大学湘雅医院针对24例患者同一肢体多关节部位瘢痕挛缩畸形进行同期手术整复，其中男16例、女8例，年龄3～42岁；上肢15例、下肢9例；一次手术整复腋窝和肘部瘢痕挛缩3例，肘窝和腕掌侧瘢痕挛缩4例，肘窝和手部瘢痕挛缩5例，腕掌侧、手掌和手指掌侧瘢痕挛缩3例，腹股沟和膝内侧瘢痕挛缩2例，腘窝和踝后瘢痕挛缩1例，踝前和足背瘢痕挛缩6例。多关节部位瘢痕挛缩松解后，皮肤缺损面积140～580 cm(2)，采用自体全厚皮移植修复7例，自体中厚皮移植修复4例，自体全厚皮移植联合局部皮瓣改形修复9例，异体脱细胞真皮基质＋自体薄皮片移植修复4例。术后采取综合康复措施，观察所有皮片成活情况；术后6个月～8年随访患肢功能，其中上肢功能按中华医学会手外科学会上肢部分功能评定试用标准评定，下肢术后检查关节活动度以及行走和下蹲功能，并记录患肢挛缩复发再次手术情况。 结果： 22例患者植皮术后皮片全部成活；2例患者全厚皮小块坏死，其中1例患者创面经清创植皮后修复，1例患者创面经换药后愈合。各整复关节处瘢痕挛缩畸形完全或基本纠正。随访6～96个月，15例上肢瘢痕挛缩患者功能评定优12例、良3例；9例下肢瘢痕挛缩患者中除1例3岁患儿因膝内侧瘢痕挛缩复发5年后再次行手术松解植皮外，其余8例患者整复术后关节功能基本恢复正常，效果较佳。 结论： 同一肢体多关节部位连续性瘢痕挛缩畸形，采取同期手术松解植皮整复，可减少手术次数、获得较佳手术效果。.
