Objective: This randomized clinical trial aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of combining a medial superior malleolar perforator flap from the posterior tibial artery (PTAPF) with a vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) dressing for skin and soft tissue defects in the Achilles tendon area.
Methods: Twenty-eight patients were randomly divided into two equally sized groups: the control group received treatment with a medial superior malleolar perforator flap, while the experimental group was treated with a perforator flap from the posterior tibial artery in combination with a VAC dressing. Perioperative data, including average operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, time to ambulation, and hospital stay after surgery, were recorded.
