| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Reconstruction of lower leg and foot soft tissue defects remain a challenging task, particularly in patients with circulation problems. Various options including local flaps, free flaps, and muscle flaps have been used for reconstruction in these cases (Sargent, 2017) Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to Evaluate the role of peroneal artery pedicled perforator flap for reconstruction of lower leg and foot soft tissue defects. Materials & Methods: Study design with a prospective non randomized clinical study, it has been conducted in the Plastic surgery unit Minia university hospital in the period from January to August 2019.It included20 patients presented with raw areas in the lower leg, ankle and foot. Results: The flap survival was excellent in middle age patients with small defect but the flap survival was bad in young age patients with large defect. Discussion: The age of the patient and the surface area of the defect play an important role in flap survival. Recommendation: based on the current study we recommend that the peroneal artery pedicled perforator flap has good results in small to medium sized defects and not large defects. | ||
