Abstract:
Objective To report the operative technique and clinical experiences of the modified reversed superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flaps for reconstruction of the ankle and foot.Methods According to the previous anatomical studies and our clinical experiences,we devised the reversed superficial peroneal neuroeutaneous island flap based on the descending branch of the distal perforator of the peronealrtery and its venae comitantes,and covered the soft defect of the ankle and foot with it.Results Twenty-one of the 23 flaps survived completely without complications,while the other two occurred marginal necrosis.The maximum surface of the flap in our series was 12 cm×13 cm.and the minimum one was 5 cm×4 cm.The length of the pedicle ranged from 5 cm to 10 cm.The texture of the flaps was good,while the cosmetic and function of them were evaluated as acceptable in all cased after 6 to 21 months follow-up.Conclusion The reversod superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flaps is a versatile,reliable procedure useful in reconstruction of the ankle and foot.
