Reverse peroneal flaps offer a reliable method for lower limb wound coverage. This surgical technique effectively addresses soft-tissue deficits in the leg and ankle with good healing outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • The peroneal vascular pedicle is crucial for supplying the posterolateral lower limb.
  • Reverse-flow peroneal flaps can be utilized for wound coverage in the distal leg and ankle.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and versatility of reverse-flow peroneal flaps for soft-tissue reconstruction.
  • To describe the surgical approaches and outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 13 patients who underwent reverse peroneal flap surgery.
  • Two surgical approaches (medial and lateral) were employed based on defect location.
  • Flap designs were adapted for coverage of soft-tissue deficits in the lower leg and ankle.

Main Results:

  • All 13 patients achieved wound healing.
  • Minor wound complications occurred in 4 patients.
  • The peroneal vascular system demonstrated adaptability for various flap designs.

Conclusions:

  • Reverse-flow peroneal flaps are a reliable option for reconstructing lower limb soft-tissue defects.
  • Both medial and lateral approaches provide effective coverage for specific wound locations.
  • The peroneal vascular system offers versatility in flap design for selected patients.
