Focusable Doppler ultrasound in mapping dorsal hand flaps

The dorsal arterial anatomy of 50 normal hands was mapped using high frequency pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound. The findings correlated with previous anatomical studies regarding the variability in the incidence of the arteries. Eight clinical cases were studied preoperatively, seven of whom underwen...

Zusammenfassung:	The dorsal arterial anatomy of 50 normal hands was mapped using high frequency pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound. The findings correlated with previous anatomical studies regarding the variability in the incidence of the arteries. Eight clinical cases were studied preoperatively, seven of whom underwent surgery involving local flaps. Intraoperatively the presence of the mapped vessels was confirmed in each case. This investigation defines the role of high frequency pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound in the mapping of dorsal hand flaps.
