    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of V-Y flap pedicled with superior malleolus cutaneous branch for small skin defect at the dorsal side of foot. METHODS: From Aug. 2008 to Aug. 2010, 9 cases with skin defects at the dorsal side of feet were treated by V-Y flaps pedicled with superior malleolus cutaneous branch. The flap size ranged from 6.0 cm x 5.5 cm to 12.0 cm x 6.5 cm. The defects at the donor sites were closed directly. RESULTS: All flaps survived completely. 9 cases were followed up for 6-12 months after operation. The flaps had good texture and color match. The 2-point discrimination distance at the flap was 10-14 mm. The function of ankle was normal. CONCLUSIONS: The V-Y flap pedicled with superior malleolus cutaneous branch is ideal for the treatment of small skin defect at the dorsal side of foot.
