However, this may lead to considerable donor site morbidity, is time consuming, and needs facility of microsurgery. With the introduction of perforator flap, management of small- and medium-size defects of distal leg and ankle region is convenient, less time con...
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 ...

متن کاملDistally based sural faciocutaneous and fascial (adipofascial) flap for reconstruction of distal leg, ankle and foot defects.
BACKGROUND Any soft tissue defect in distal leg, ankle and hind foot is still a challenging problem. There are various options for coverage of such defects, but the distally based sural neurocutaneous and neurofascial flap based on the sural nerve and superficial sural artery has been an important option. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of distally based sural flap in reconstruction of the...
متن کاملEffectiveness of the Gastrocsoleous Flap for Coverage of Soft Tissue Defects in Leg with Emphasis on the Distal Third
Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...
