Distal partial necrosis is a common issue in propeller flap surgery. A salvage technique using a free peroneal perforator flap from the remaining viable tissue can successfully treat this complication.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Distal partial necrosis is a frequent complication of propeller flaps, occurring in up to 21% of cases.
- Posterior ankle soft-tissue defects present reconstructive challenges.
