Abstract:
Treating mid- and forefoot wounds is challenging. We share our clinical experience and describe the treatment of foreand midfoot wounds by grafting pedicled distal peroneal artery perforator (PNAP) flaps. The study enrolled 21 patients with fore- and midfoot injuries, who underwent grafting with a pedicled distal PNAP flap between August 2013 and May 2016. All of the flaps survived and were followed for 2 to 11 months. The appearance and texture of these flaps were good. The range of motion of the injured ankle was similar to the unaffected side. There were no complications, such as scar contracture, ulcer, or tenderness. The pedicled distal PNAP flaps can effectively extend the length of the flap pedicles and are better for repairing fore- and midfoot wounds than the traditional distally pedicled sural neuro-fasciocutaneous flaps.
