Cadaver dissection confirmed potential reverse blood flow in the lateral calcaneal artery. A distally based flap using this artery proved successful in two patients for reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Understanding the vascular supply to the foot is crucial for reconstructive surgery.
  • The lateral calcaneal artery's role in flap viability has been previously debated.

Observation:

  • Cadaveric dissection revealed a consistent connection between the lateral calcaneal artery, lateral tarsal artery, and a branch of the lateral plantar artery.
  • This anatomical finding suggests the potential for retrograde (reverse) blood flow within the lateral calcaneal artery.

Findings:

  • The distally based lateral calcaneal flap was successfully designed and utilized in two clinical cases.
  • Surgical technique, indications, and patient outcomes for this flap were documented.

Implications:

  • This flap offers a potential new option for foot and ankle reconstruction.
  • Further research into the vascular dynamics and clinical applications of the lateral calcaneal flap is warranted.
