Reverse Lateral Supramalleolar Adipofascial Flap: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Achieving adequate coverage of soft tissue defects located on the lower third of the legs and feet is challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Fasciocutaneous flaps can be used to meet this challenge. Two common fasciocutaneous flaps used in this context are the reverse sural flap and lateral supramalleolar flap (LSMF). Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are relatively unfamiliar with the second flap. In this article, we introduce a patient with an extensive soft-tissue defect on the dorsum and lateral side of her foot and ankle.

Surgical Treatment of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans Using a Reversed Adipofascial Sural Flap – Case Report
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare superficial tumor characterized by high rates of local recurrence and low risk of metastasis. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans occurs most commonly on the trunk and proximal extremities, it affects all races, and often develops between the second and the fifth decade of life. The tumor grows slowly, typically over years. We present a rare case of a young...
full textReverse adipofascial flap after resection of a malignant perineurioma of the forearm.
The authors describe a patient with recurrent perineurioma arising in the subcutaneous tissue of the dorsal forearm and extending along the forearm fascia. Soft tissue perineurioma is a rare, originally benign peripheral nerve sheath neoplasm arising from the perineurium, a protective cell barrier surrounding the individual fascicles in peripheral nerves. Perineurioma has only recently been rec...

BACKGROUND Soft tissue defects of the posterior heel of the foot present difficult reconstructive problems. This paper reports the authors' early experience of five patients treated with a lateral calcaneal artery adipofascial flap. METHODS Between 2003 and 2007, five patients (3 males and 2 females) with soft-tissue defects over the posterior heel underwent a reconstruction using a lateral c...

IMPORTANCE This study describes a reliable technique for mucosal reconstruction of large defects using components of a common free flap technique. OBJECTIVE To review the harvest technique and the varied scenarios in which the anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap (ALTAF) can be used for mucosal restoration in oral cavity and nasal reconstruction. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrosp...
full textLateral supramalleolar flap for coverage of ankle and foot defects in children.
The lower part of the leg, the ankle and the foot, is a difficult region to cover especially with exposure of bones or tendons. There are many options for covering soft tissue defect in these areas. The supramalleolar flap is an interesting procedure. The lateral supramalleolar flap was used in 8 cases for the reconstruction of skin defects of the ankle, heel, and foot that compromised the Achi...
