A novel anterior tibial flap (type III) was developed, nourished by a distinct septocutaneous artery branch. This flap demonstrated successful clinical application in reconstructive surgery, promoting better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Vascular Anatomy

Background:

  • The anterior tibial flap is a reconstructive option for lower limb defects.
  • Existing anterior tibial flap variations are nourished by different vascular pedicles.
  • A need exists for refined flap designs with reliable vascular supply.

Observation:

  • A new anterior tibial flap (type III) was designed, distinct from previously reported types.
  • This flap is uniquely supplied by a single septocutaneous artery and vein branch.
  • The vascular pedicle traverses the anterior crural septum to supply the flap.

Findings:

  • The anterior tibial flap type III utilizes a single, vertically oriented septocutaneous artery and vein.
  • Clinical application in two cases as a reverse-flow island flap was successful.

  • Anastomosis of a vena comitans to a superficial vein prevented venous congestion, ensuring flap survival.

    • Implications:

    • This flap design offers a new option for surgeons performing lower limb reconstruction.
    • The specific vascular supply may enhance predictability and reliability in flap viability.
    • Further studies can explore broader clinical applications of anterior tibial flap type III.
