Vascular Anatomy and Clinical Application of the Free Proximal Ulnar Artery Perforator Flaps
Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2014Co-Authors: Yitao Wei, Xiaotian Shi, Guiwu Zhong, Maolin Tang, Jin MeiAbstract:Background:There is a dearth of detailed published work on the anatomy of Ulnar Artery perforators. The objective of this study was to fully document the vascular basis of the free proximal Ulnar Artery perforator flap and report its use in reconstruction of the hand.Methods:(1) The Ulnar Artery per

Traumatic aneurysm of the Ulnar Artery in a child
Injury-international Journal of The Care of The Injured, 1997Co-Authors: Jérôme Cron, Christophe Saliou, Jean-noël FabianiAbstract:Although aneurysms in the arms are less frequent than in the legs, they are not rare’,2. However, false as well as true aneurysms of the main trunk of the Ulnar Artery are very uncommon. They are generally localized to its superficial segment on the hypothenar eminence due to repeated injury as in the hypothenar hammer syndrome’,“. They may cause chronic ischaemia by thrombo-embolism. True aneurysms are characteristic of this syndrome and in blunt injury of the hand and the forearm. False aneurysms are more often secondary to penetrating arterial injury. Vascular complications of closed fractures of the forearm are rare. When they occur they present with abolition of a distal pulse or signs of ischaemia, more severe when both forearm arteries are involved. To our knowledge, such a case of Ulnar Artery aneurysm has not been reported before in the literature. Erdoes et a1.5 recently reported a ruptured false aneurysm of the Ulnar Artery in an P&year-old lady 20 years after a wrist fracture treated on traction5.

Perforator patterns of the Ulnar Artery perforator flap.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Edward I. Chang, Jesse C. Selber, Matthew M. HanasonoAbstract:BACKGROUND: Flaps based on the Ulnar Artery have never gained the same popularity as the radial forearm flap, despite several potential advantages. In this article, the authors describe a true Ulnar Artery perforator flap with perforator mapping. METHODS: Thirty-eight consecutive patients who underwent Ulnar Artery perforator flap surgery were included in the study. The size, number, and location of perforators were recorded intraoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative grip strength was tested and compared. RESULTS: One to three cutaneous perforators from the Ulnar Artery were identified and designated as A, B, and C from distal to proximal. Perforator A was present in 79 percent of cases and located 7.3 ± 1.1 cm from the pisiform. Perforator B was present in 95 percent of cases and located 11.4 ± 1.0 cm from the pisiform. Perforator C was present in 87 percent of cases and located 15.9 ± 1.8 cm from the pisiform. All patients had at least two perforators, and 61 percent had three perforators. All flaps were used for head and neck reconstruction and all were successful. Donor-site morbidity was minor. Grip testing demonstrated a transient decrease in grip strength during the postoperative period, and most recovered to the contralateral level by 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: At least two perforators are present in the Ulnar Artery perforator flap territory. This flap is reliable and easy to harvest and has minimal donor-site morbidity. It should be considered as an alternative to the radial forearm flap in select patients.

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm in an Ulnar Artery vein graft.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 1993Co-Authors: Philip E. Higgs, Paul M. WeeksAbstract:Ulnar Artery thrombosis is well reported but treatment recommendations still vary. We report the 10-year follow-up of a vein graft used to treat a patient with Ulnar Artery thrombosis. The graft remained patent until the tenth year, when the patient sustained a blunt hyperextension injury to the involved wrist and developed a pseudoaneurysm of the vein graft. The pseudoaneurysm was found to be in the graft itself and not at the anastomosis. The vein graft thrombosed and was successfully treated with resection of the thrombosed vessel, embolectomy of the superficial palmer arch, and replacement with a new vein graft.
