    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Chronic ulcerations in the achilles region pose significant treatment challenges.
    • Understanding the local cutaneous vascularization is crucial for effective reconstructive surgery.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the cutaneous vascular anatomy of the lateral ankle.
    • To identify a reliable flap for covering chronic achilles ulcerations.

    Summary:

    • Vascular injection techniques revealed a cutaneous flap based on the lateral calcaneal artery, a branch of the posterior peroneal artery.
    • This flap provides a viable source of vascularized tissue for reconstruction.

    Impact:

    • Offers a potential new surgical technique for managing chronic achilles region ulcers.
    • Enhances reconstructive options for complex lower extremity wounds.
