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.

The investigation was performed in 20 cadavers (dissection in 17 formaldehyde preserved and dye injection in 3 fresh ones). The results of study showed that: average, each rectus abdominal muscle has 4.97 vessel with 0.5-0.6 mm in diameter arising from the anterior gone up through the sheath of abdominal muscle. Among them, 4.56 arising from the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA) and they concentrate mainly in the paraumbilical area (87.7%). The cutaneous blood supply (dye coloured area) of the DIEA was 19.5 x 14 cm in the supra and infra umbilical regions. The DIEA and the vein form a suitable pedicle for free tissue transfer. The design of different skin flaps patterns was proposed by results.

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.
