摘要
Soft-tissue reconstruction of the foot and ankle has long presented challenging problems for the plastic surgeon. Limitations of available local tissue, the need for specialized tissue, and donor site morbidity restrict the options available to the reconstructive surgeon. In an effort to solve these difficult problems, we have begun to use musculofascial flaps based on the branches of the dorsalis pedis artery. We present our early experience of 5 patients treated with an extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap with fascial extensions often containing the contents of the first web space. Our patients ranged from 6 to 60 years in age and included 4 males and 1 female. The etiologies of the wounds were secondary to trauma (N = 2), complications of surgery for rheumatoid arthritis (N = 2), and were secondary to a defect following resection of an arteriovenous malformation (N = 1), The flaps had antegrade blood flow in 3 patients and reverse flow in 2 patients. The flaps were covered with a split-thickness skin graft and the donor site was closed primarily. The donor sites healed without the need for further surgery. One patient required additional procedures. This flap proved to be both versatile and effective for closure of difficult wounds of the foot and ankle.
