Anatomic basis of the sural fascio-cutaneous flap: surgical applications.

Studies of the fascio-cutaneous vascularization and innervation of the leg seem incomplete. After reviewing the classical findings, the authors report on their anatomic study 15 dissections. Perforating pedicles, originating from the peroneal artery (3 to 5) and posterior tibial artery (4 to 5) destined for the skin and fascia of the posterior aspect of the leg were constantly found. This study suggests the possibility of a distally based sural fascio-cutaneous flap, a flap which has been successfully constructed clinically.

[The distally based sural fascio-cutaneous flap. A new technic for the coverage of loss of substance of the lower leg].

Prognosis of compound open fractures has been transformed by the use of plastic surgery to cover wounds. However, loss of substance of lower third of leg remains a delicate problem frequently requiring the use of microsurgical techniques by experienced teams. The sural cutaneo-aponeurotic distal base flap, the subject of a detailed anatomical study by the authors, can resolve the problem without affecting muscle capital and at the price of minor esthetic sequelae. Results in two clinical cases confirm reliability of this flap.
