Abstract:
Complex topological investigation of 19 lower extremities of 10 nonfixed cadavers was conducted to substantiate the isolation possibilities and the variants of application of the foot insular medial flap. Fascio-cutaneous transplant was isolated on the inner foot side in the region of its nonbearing surface. Transposition of the flap on the proximal vascular-nervous pedicle was conducted into the heel region or on the distal vascular pedicle-into the anterior parts of foot with the microneuroraphy of the nerve sensitivity. Transplantation of such a tissue complex permitted to restore the adequate sensitivity and a full value cutaneous cover in the foot region.
