A novel surgical technique successfully reconstructed a foot defect using a reverse medial soleus flap. This flap, incorporating the posterior tibial artery, ensured complete survival and improved blood supply for the soleus muscle.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic injuries to the medial malleolar area can compromise vascular structures.
  • Posterior tibial artery occlusion presents a reconstructive challenge in lower extremity trauma.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old female patient sustained traumatic damage to the medial malleolar region.
  • Arteriography confirmed a posterior tibial artery occlusion at the ankle.

Findings:

  • A reverse medial soleus flap, including the posterior tibial pedicle, was successfully elevated.
  • The flap's triangular design and inclusion of the vascular pedicle ensured complete flap survival.
  • This technique enhanced arterial supply and venous drainage throughout the soleus muscle flap.

Implications:

  • This reconstructive approach offers a viable solution for complex lower extremity defects.
  • The described flap technique may improve outcomes in managing posterior tibial artery injuries.
  • Successful soleus muscle flap reconstruction highlights the importance of vascular pedicle preservation.
