Distally based medial island septocutaneous flap for repair of soft-tissue defects of the lower leg

A medial island septocutaneous flap, based on the lower septocutaneous vessels from the posterior tibial artery and vein, has been designed. This flap was rotated 90 degrees in 5 cases and 180 degrees in 2 cases to cover soft-tissue defects on the lower third of the leg. © 1991 The Trustees of British Association of Plastic Surgeons.
