Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 10/06/09
Lorenzetti F et al. – The reverse peroneus muscle flap is ideally suited for small–to–moderate defects of the distal third of the lower leg. This flap offers a convincing alternative for covering defects in the distal leg region. Its arc of rotation allows coverage of more anterior defects of the ankle, of defects of the Achilles tendon and of the heel area as well as of lateral and medial malleolus areas. It is simple to raise and is often transposed easily within the wound without further dissection. As long as the peroneus longus is preserved, ankle instability is not expected.
