摘要

The most common procedure for the treatment of painful median nerve neuroma is coverage with vascularized soft tissue following external neurolysis. However, the ideal treatment should include reconnecting the proximal and distal stumps of the damaged nerve to allow the growth of regenerating axons to their proper targets for a functional recovery. We developed a useful technique employing radial artery perforator adipofascial flap including the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LABCN) to repair the median nerve by vascularized nerve grafting and to achieve coverage of the nerve with vascularized soft tissue. In an anatomical study of 10 fresh-frozen cadaver upper extremities, LABCN was constantly bifurcated into two branches at the proximal forearm (mean: 8.2 cm distal to the elbow) and two branches that run in a parallel manner toward the wrist. The mean length of the LABCN branches between the bifurcating point and the wrist was 18.2 cm, which enabled inclusion of adequate length of the LABCN branches into the radial artery perforator adipofascial flap. The diameters of the LABCN branches (mean: 1.7 mm) were considered suitable to bridge the funiculus of the median nerve defect after microsurgical internal neurolysis. In all cadaver upper extremities, the 3-cm median nerve defect at the wrist level could be repaired using the LABCN branches and covered with the radial artery perforator adipofascial flap. On the basis of this anatomical study, the median nerve neuroma was successfully treated with radial artery perforator adipofascial flap including vascularized LABCN branches.
