  • Title: The Distally Based Posterior Tibial Artery Flap.
    Author: Perry WC, Masadeh S, Thione A.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2020 Oct; 37(4):671-680. PubMed ID: 32919597.
    Abstract:
    Soft tissue defects to the distal leg and hindfoot are challenging with only the smallest defects closed primarily without tissue transposition. These defects to the distal leg and hindfoot can lead to tendon desiccation, damaged neurovascular structures, and exposed joint surfaces. These wounds can be the result of postoperative dehiscence and exposed orthopedic hardware, with high susceptibility to infection. Pedicled fasciocutaneous flaps of the medial leg provide an excellent solution with good outcomes that do not require microanastomosis and have similar outcomes as compared with free flap reconstruction in the lower extremity.
