The peroneal artery perforator flap offers a reliable method for soft tissue reconstruction. This study details its anatomical basis and successful clinical application in 29 patients.

Area of Science:

Anatomy
Plastic Surgery
Microsurgery

Background:

Understanding the peroneal artery and its perforators is crucial for reconstructive surgery.
Previous studies have highlighted the potential of perforator flaps for tissue repair.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the detailed anatomy of the peroneal artery and its perforators.
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of peroneal artery perforator flaps in soft tissue reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Cadaveric dissection of 4 legs to analyze perforator characteristics (distribution, course, origin, number, type, length).
Surgical reconstruction using peroneal artery perforator flaps in 29 patients, employing retrograde, anterograde, and free flap techniques.

Identification of 19 perforators, with an average of 4.8 per leg and a mean length of 4.8 cm.
Successful flap survival in all 29 patients; 5 flaps experienced partial skin necrosis, managed conservatively or with skin grafting.
Flap variations included retrograde island (8), anterograde island (5), and free flaps (16) for defects ranging from 2.0 cm×4.5 cm to 8.0 cm×8.0 cm.

Conclusions:

The peroneal artery perforator flap is a viable and effective option for soft tissue defect reconstruction.
The flap provides a constant vascular pedicle, thin pliable skin, and versatility for composite tissue reconstruction.
