Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Reconstruction of heel and calcaneus defects presents significant challenges.
  • The compound flap offers a potential solution for complex bone and soft tissue defects.

Observation:

  • The lateral leg flap, fibula, and surrounding soft tissues were used as a compound flap.
  • The flap was pedicled on the distal peroneal vessels.

Findings:

  • The compound flap was utilized in two patients between 1987 and 1990.
  • Both cases resulted in successful reconstruction with good functional outcomes.

Implications:

  • The compound flap technique is a viable option for heel and calcaneus defect reconstruction.
  • This method demonstrates potential for restoring function in complex lower extremity injuries.
