| Popis: | Ankle fractures are among the most common orthopaedic surgical procedures. Skin-related complications of these surgeries are difficult to reconstruct due to the inadequacy of soft tissue in the region. Although free flaps are generally considered as the first choice in reconstruction of this area, free flaps may not be a suitable option especially in patients with advanced age and comorbidities. Perforator flaps offer a fast and safe alternative in lower extremity reconstruction. In the literature, there are a limited number of studies using perforator flaps in managing the postoperative complications of the lower extremity trauma surgeries. In our study, we report our experience with reconstruction of soft-tissue defects of medial malleolar region using posterior tibial artery perforator flap for postoperative complications of ankle fracture-related surgeries. |
