Distally based sural neurocutaneous flaps for ankle and heel ulcers.
This study assessed the use of sural neurocutaneous flaps to repair chronic ulcers in difficult-to-cover areas around the ankle and heel. Follow-up of the 14 patients included in this study ranged from 6 months to 3 years after their operation. Total flap loss occurred in two patients, both of whom had rheumatoid arthritis complicated by vasculitis. Partial flap loss occurred in three patients;...

متن کاملReverse sural flap for ankle and heel soft tissues reconstruction
Introduction: The potential of the medial calf integument, as donor site for a free flap based on musculocutaneous branches of the medial sural artery, was first identified by Taylor and Daniel, following cadaver investigation. In 1981, Pontén described the fasciocutaneous sural flap as a reconstructive option for soft tissue loss of the lower extremity, particularly around the knee. Two years ...
متن کاملDistally based sural artery flap without sural nerve.
The distal third of the tibia, ankle and heel area is difficult to reconstruct. For small to medium size defects, local flaps are often an easier alternative than free flap. In lower limb surgery, the sural flap is based on this principle and this flap is becoming increasingly popular. The distally based superficial sural artery flap, first described as a distally based neuro skin flap by masqu...
متن کاملDistally Based Sural Artery Flap: A Workhorse to Cover the Soft Tissue Defects of Distal Leg, Ankle and Foot
Background & Aims: Distal leg, ankle and foot injuries are relatively common; and because of lack of soft tissue and poor blood supply in these areas, one of the common problems in these patients is soft tissue necrosis. Exposed orthopedic implants can be used as open reduction internal fixator (ORIF) in these regions. Methods: During 2013-2014, 14 patients (11 men and 3 women) with a mean age ...
