Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of dominant perforator neurocutaneous flaps for one-staged reconstruction of defects caused by high energy at lower legs, ankles and feet.
Methods: From July 2003 to Feb. 2011, 39 cases, with defects caused by high energy at lower legs, ankles and feet, were retrospectively studied.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the dominant perforators of the peroneal artery using color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in 20 healthy volunteers to aid in surgical procedures involving sural neurocutaneous flaps.
- - It found an average of 4.2 dominant perforators with an average diameter of 1.13 mm, primarily located in the middle third of the leg, indicating a specific pattern useful for surgical preparations.
- - All 51 neurocutaneous flaps harvested showed successful outcomes, with CDFI demonstrating high accuracy rates for identifying perforators, especially in cases after December 2007.
