Abstract:
This study was conducted to assess outcomes of propeller flaps for reconstruction of small- to medium-sized defects in the distal third of the leg. Of 53 lower third leg defects covered using the propeller flap, 43 survived without complications. Only minor complications were seen and no flap was lost completely. The propeller flap is thus a safe option for medium-sized defects of the lower leg.
