## Abstract __Background:__ In the lower leg posttraumatic pathology, we are frequently confronted with tissue defects that are difficult to cover by local or distance means, because of either the poor tissue quality or the precarious local vessels. One of the still available methods for solving th

## Abstract In this report, we present a case with floor of mouth squamous cell carcinoma who underwent wide excision of tumor, a marginal mandibulectomy and bilateral selective neck dissections. A 7 cm Γ 4 cm fasciocutaneous flap based on a posterior tibial artery perforator (PTAP) from the left p
The purpose of this report is to introduce the cross-leg anterolateral thigh perforator flap for closure of a defect on the dorsum of the foot, and to show that the anterolateral thigh perforator flap is a safe option for a cross-bridge microvascular anastomosis in defects of the extremity. The free
Anatomy of cutaneous perforators of the posterior tibial artery were studied in 20 limbs of 10 cadavers. The majority of the perforators (n = 74, 61%) were located in the middle two quarters of the leg, at an average of 18.6 cm (s.d. 4.5 cm; range 10.5-26 cm) from the medial malleolus, or around 54%
