Résumé
The management of feline hindlimb full-thickness skin defects is challenging. On the other hand, the use of a semitendinosus (ST) myocutaneous flap for their coverage has not been reported. To describe the ST flap and compare it with second intention healing for managing hindlimb full-thickness skin defects. In 12 purpose-bred laboratory domestic short-haired cats, two wounds were made on each tibia. The wounds in group A (n = 12) were covered with ST flaps, and those in group B (n = 12) were left to heal by second intention. In both groups, clinical assessment scoring and planimetry were performed between one-30 d postoperatively. Computed tomography-angiography (CTA) was performed on days zero, 10, and 30, and histological examinations were performed on days zero and 14 and at 6 and 12 mon postoperatively. Statistically significant differences in the clinical assessment scores were observed between groups A and B on days 14 ( An ST flap can be used effectively to manage hindlimb full-thickness skin defects.
