| Introduction: Soft tissue defects of the distal lower extremity are notoriously difficult wounds to treat. This area of the leg has a thin integument, relatively superficial tendons and a Soft tissue defects of the distal lower extremity are notoriously difficult wounds to paucity of soft tissue. Aim of the Work: The aim of this study was to; Clinically evaluate the role of peroneus brevis muscle flap for coverage of defects (post-traumatic, post-burn) around the ankle. Patients and Methods: Study Design: This is a prospective nonrandomized clinical study. The study was conducted in the plastic surgery department Minia university hospital in the period from January to October 2018. It included 20 patients presented with defects around the ankle. We had the approval of the ethics committee of faculty of medicine Minia university. Results: This clinical study includes reconstruction of defects around the ankle by peroneus brevis muscle flap in 20 patients admitted at Minia university hospital from January to October 2018. Conclusion: We conclude that, the peroneus brevis muscle flap is an option in this situation because of its adjacent location, reliability, and the relative simplicity of technique. | ||
