| Résumé : | Acute and chronic soft tissue defects of the distal lower extremity pose a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The paucity of vascularized tissue coupled with the mechanical demands of the region creates unique barriers in wound management. Advancements in microsurgery techniques and low complication rates have made free tissue transfer the treatment of choice for soft tissue coverage in the distal lower extremity.1 However, because of the complexity of microsurgery and limited availability in some settings, the use of local pedicled flaps remains a viable alternative in select patients. The reverse sural artery flap (RSAF) provides a local option that is both versatile and reliable for covering soft tissue defects of the lower extremity. |
