Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the leg by peroneal myocutaneous island flap transfer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We treated 11 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia or the foot by local excision and transfer of a peroneal myocutaneous island flap. This flap, pedicled proximally or distally on the peroneal artery and veins, provides viable muscle to fill the dead space in bone and skin to close the defect. Ten patients reviewed more than three years after operation were all free of drainage with no clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence.

Reverse 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 ...

Despite the frequent use of the fibular free flap, there have been no reports of severe compartment syndrome of the donor leg that necessitated limb amputation. A 66-yr-old man had a fibular osseous free flap transfer from the left leg to the mandible that was complicated by postoperative compartment syndrome. An extensive chronic leg wound resulted, which was treated with multiple debridements...
متن کاملReconstruction of Ankle and Heel Defects with Peroneal Artery Perforator-Based Pedicled Flaps
BACKGROUND The reconstruction of ankle and heel defects remains a significant problem for plastic surgeons. The following options exist for reconstructing such defects: local random flaps, reverse flow island flaps, and free flaps. However, each of these methods has certain drawbacks. Peroneal artery perforators have many advantages; in particular, they are predictable and reliable for ankle an...

In the 1990s, skin island flaps supplied by the vascular axis of sensitive superficial nerves, like the sural and saphenous nerves, were introduced. Flaps supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve accessory artery (SPNAA), however, are still not commonly used. The aim of this study is to understand the anatomical structure of the SPNAA and its perforators in the anterior intermuscular septum, ...

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of chronic lower extremity wounds remains challenging. These wounds are mainly associated with diabetes mellitus, infections, and osteomyelitis. Although several reconstructive techniques are available, the peroneal artery perforator flap has unique advantages. METHODS In this study, we discuss our experiences with peroneal artery perforator flaps in 55 patients who ...
