Analysis of island flaps of distal pedicled sural nerve accompanying blood vascular for 21 cases of lower extremity soft tissue defects reconstruction / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the characterristics of distally based sural flap for the leg reconstruction.Methods Twenty-one patients with soft tissue defects in the instep,heel,ankle and distall one third anterior tibial region were analyzed.Results All flaps survived and healed with the affected area.Conclusion Distally based sural flap was reliable flap without sacrifice of major arteries.It can be used reliably for instep,heel,ankle and distal one third anterior tibial region.
