Abstract
Based on the principle of skin vascularization through perforating branches along intermuscular septa, a new distally based fasciocutaneous flap from the sural region is presented. Its use in reconstruction of defects in the middle and lower third of the leg is demonstrated by the clinical application in our sample of 3 cases. The limits of the extent and the exact basis of its vascularity have to be determined by further investigations.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
