Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to 65 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria: (1) Age between 18 and 65, regardless of gender; (2)Soft tissue defects of the limbs with exposed deep structures (implants, bones, nerves, blood vessels) that cannot be covered by skin grafting; (3) Wound repair is allowed to be carried out on a scheduled/delayed basis; (4)Patients have signed informed consent and are willing to participate in all follow-up evaluations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria:(1) Patients who were found to have no perforator vessels around the wound by dynamic infrared thermography screening and thus were unable to undergo pedicled perforator island flap repair; (2) Patients with severe diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and immune system diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus) who were unable to undergo pedicled perforator island flap repair; (3) Patients with significantly impaired cooperation capacity due to any reason (such as substance abuse, mental disorders, dementia, etc.); (4) Patients unwilling to undergo percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation therapy.
