The scope of the flap was 18 c m?13 cm～11 c m?7 c m and that of the gastrocnemius flap was 4 cm?3 cm～9 c m?6 cm,the thickness was 1～3 cm,the skin flap was bigger than the muscle flap.[Result]Muscle side of the muscle flap was errhysising actively and the skin flap was good circulation duing operation, the muscle flaps were used clinically in 16 patiens all survived completely after operation. All cases were followed up from 5 to 17 months ,incision of open fracture healed primarily, osteomyelitis without reoccurring, the muscle flaps were satisfactory in appearance,feel recovered and walk well.[Conclusion]Reversed sural neurofasciocutaneous flap with muscle has sufficient blood supply and high survival rate,so it is an effective and feasible method in repairing the soft tissue defect of foot, ankle and tibia lower section in special cases.
