“…The extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap has proven particularly useful in reconstruction of the lower extremity and especially around the malleoli and the calcaneum [3]. It has a good and dependable vascular supply [3], and few anatomical variations have been described [3,9]. The extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap has the following advantages over the alternative options [3]: -It is a one-stage procedure and does not require the use of the other extremity [10].…”

“…While crossing the dorsum of the foot, the muscle lies obliquely deep to the extensor digitornm longus tendons and the branches of the superficial peroneal nerve. The dorsalis pedis vascular bundle and the deep peroneal nerve are medial to the muscle, lying in the same plane and supplying it by their lateral branches [3]. The muscle is vascularized primarily by the lateral tarsal and metatarsal (arcuate) arteries [2, 3, This muscle and the extensor digitorum longus are synergists, and thus no functional defect results from the removal of the extensor digitorum brevis [1,3,11].…”

The use of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle as a local muscle island flap for the cover of soft tissue defects in the lower extremity is presented. The anatomy of the muscle, the blood supply, the elevation, and use of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap in the lower extremity are discussed. This flap offers a mean area of 27 cm 2, which can cover large skin defects otherwise difficult to treat. A case of trauma to the medial Correspondence to." A.D. Mandrekas, MD, Ipsilantou 18, Kolonaki-Athens 10676, Greece malleolus is presented; this was treated successfully with the extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap.

A reversed superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flap based on the descending branch of the distal peroneal perforator: Clinical experiences and modifications

et al. 2007

The distally based neurocutaneous flaps have been popular for lower leg and foot reconstruction. On the basis of pre-existing anatomic studies and clinical experiences, we designed a reversed superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flap with the descending branch of the distal peroneal perforator as the pedicle. The flap is supplied through both axial perforator and longitudinal chain-linked vascular plexuses. This modified neurocutaneous island flap, measuring around 5 cm 3 4 cm to 12 cm 3 13 cm in size, was transferred for coverage of foot soft-tissue defects in 21 cases with a low complication rate. Compared to the original neurocutaneous flap, the rotation point of this flap is more distal and the pedicle is thinner. It could provide good texture and contour matching to the recipient area. In conclusion, the modified neurocutaneous island flap provides a reliable tool for repairing soft-tissue defects of the ankle and foot.
