| Popis: | Case: Delayed wound-healing of anterior ankle incisions can be problematic for patients who have undergone total ankle replacement. We describe the case of a patient in whom a posterior tibial artery perforator-based fascial flap was effectively used to cover skin necrosis and to repair the extensor retinaculum in a wound following revision total ankle replacement. Conclusion: When a tendon is exposed in the ankle, a skin flap is generally required. The creation of a perforator-based fascial flap is a useful technique for covering a wound with an exposed tendon and is an alternative to a musculocutaneous flap. |
