This study validates a reliable skin flap from the lower leg

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Reconstructive surgery often requires versatile flaps for complex defects.
  • The lateral leg offers potential donor sites for tissue transfer.

Observation:

  • Anatomical dissection of 40 specimens identified a cutaneous perforator.
  • This flap is supplied by a branch of the peroneal artery's perforating branch.
  • The vascular pedicle extends distally along the anterior ankle and foot.

Findings:

  • A reliable skin flap can be designed on the lower lateral leg.
  • This flap, utilizing a reversed pedicle, offers significant arc of rotation.
  • It effectively covers dorsal, lateral, plantar foot, heel, and lower medial leg.

Implications:

  • This flap provides a valuable option for foot and ankle reconstruction.
  • It expands reconstructive possibilities for soft tissue defects in this region.
  • Understanding the vascular anatomy is crucial for successful flap elevation.
