Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical effectiveness of peroneal artery perforator flap with anterior tibial artery perforator in repair of the soft tissue defect of dorsum of forefoot and midfoot.Methods:From February, 2015 to July, 2019, peroneal artery perforator flaps with anterior tibial artery perforator were used to repair dorsal foot soft tissue defect in 42 patients. There were 25 males and 17 females, with an averge age of 62(44-73) years. The size of soft tissue defect ranged from 7 cm×4 cm to 18 cm×5 cm. The recipient sites on forefoot and midfoot were repaired by peroneal artery perforator flaps with anterior tibial artery from the anterolateral aspect of shank. The donor sites were resurfaced with full-thickness skin graft. All patients were followed-up at the outpatient clinic or through WeChat for 3-12 months. The appearance of the flaps and limb recovery were recorded.Results:All flaps survived successfully. The donor sites and recipient sites were well healed. At the last follow-up, the texture and aesthetic of flaps were good, and the appearance and function of the foot were satisfactory.Conclusion:The peroneal artery perforator flaps with anterior tibial artery double blood supply and can be designed to repair large and distanced soft tissue defect of forefoot and midfoot.
