The coverage of defects of the Achilles tendon, malleoli and heel remain is a challenge to reconstructive surgeons. We used distally based superficial susal artery island flaps for the reconstruction of defects of maleolus and heel. The distally based superficial sural artery flap, first described as a distally based neuroskin flap by Masquellet A.C et al is a skin island flap supplied by the vascular axis of the sural nerve and combinations of these systems as suprafascial plexus. We made some modifications. We left a skin extension over the fascio vascular pedicle and used it as a roof of the tunnel.

37 patients with the long bone defects in Central Army Hospital 108 received the free vascularized pelvic and fibular transplantation. Results showed that: good (89.2%), normal (5.4%). The complex pelvic and fibular osteocutaneous flaps showed the good results in 11/11 cases. The folded fibular transplantation found the good results in 8/9 cases.

2 pestle flaps, 4 peripheral pedicular flap, 4 flaps of outside of limb and 2 flaps of inside of limb with central pedicle which were used as island fascio cutaneous flaps with the distal facio- fatty pedicles treated for 12 patients from different hospitals. Results have shown that all flaps lived; 2 flaps were healed in phase II; there were no necrosis or no cases which must be alternated by other method.

The dorsal muscular flap was pedicular flap. The flap’s pedicle comprised a thoracic artery, a dorsolumbar nerve and vein of bulb. When coming into the dorsal muscle, 88.37% of thoracic arteries divided into 2 branches. Extra branch was far from the anterior edge of medial muscle about 1.95 cm and intra-branch was far from the supra edge of medial muscle about 2.69cm. The thoracic artery can supply fully the blood for the dorsal muscular flap.

The severe contractile scar of neck area is a challenge of the plastic surgeons. Many techniques were used to resolve this problem. In which, pedicle scapular- para scapular flap is method of choice. This technique has proved to be efficacy and cost- effective compared with conventional methods, especially in cases of large contractile scar of neck.

A patient with contractile thermal scar in the neck received a plastic reconstruction by 2 supraclavicular fasicocutaneous flaps. The results have shown that distal head of two flaps was normal, process of scar healing was at good. There was no necrotic patient can lock up and turn normally. The curves of neck were reconstructed normally.

Contractile scar on neck and face always make great challenges to plastic surgeons. As a result, many methods as well as reconstructed materials have been used with its advantages, which can be denied. But in cases of severe contractile scars, the conventional methods seem not bring good result to patients meal while free skin flaps with its ideal characters (fine quality and large quantity) could be a believable material. From 1996 up to now, 10 free skin flaps have been used for 10 patients in the Central Military Hospital 108, brought good result to patients in both function and aesthetic. The authors would like to express their experience, advantages as well as disadvantages of this method in Vietnam condition.
