ABSTRACT
This article was to discuss the effectiveness of medial sural artery perforator pedicled flap or muscle flap in the treatment of soft tissue defect. Since 2002, 21 patients(14 males and 7 females)with prepatellar(n=7)or pretibial(n=14)defect had underwent soft tissue reconstruction. Ten of them obtained medial sural artery perforator pedicled flap and the rest received muscle flap. All the medial sural artery perforator pedicled flaps and muscle flaps survived well and the clinical outcomes were satisfactory. No remarkable donor site morbidity was found. According to our data. medial sural artery perforator pedicled flap or muscle flap may seem to be highly vascularized and have constant vascular anatomy and long vascular pedicle. They could be useful in the treatment of prepatellar or pretibial soft tissue defect.
