Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Microsurgery
Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

Diverse flap options exist for lower limb reconstruction.
Advancements in understanding cutaneous blood supply and microsurgical techniques have led to perforator propeller flaps.

Purpose of the Study:

To classify perforator propeller flaps based on key criteria.
To establish specific reconstructive indications for these flaps in lower limb surgery.

Main Methods:

Defined propeller flap as an insular flap rotated on a perforator pedicle.
Classified flaps based on perforator position, reconstructive needs, blood supply, and aesthetic/functional demands.
Utilized literature review and cadaver studies.

Main Results:

Developed a classification system for propeller flaps.
Identified specific reconstructive indications for propeller flaps.
Highlighted the importance of pedicle length and flap surface area for flap selection.

Conclusions:

Perforator propeller flaps are a primary therapeutic option for specific small and medium lower limb defects.
Knowledge of flap parameters aids in optimal flap selection for lower limb reconstruction.
