Trial summary

Our main aim for this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome comparisons between sural artery and Supramalleolar flap in the reconstruction of extensive defects of non-weight bearing regions of foot and ankle. The patients' information were collected through medical records and analyzed through SPSS Read more about this study

Study population: Data of all those patients was collected who underwent reconstruction of soft tissue defects of foot and ankle with Supramalleolar and sural artery flaps between 1996 and 2020. The data of these patients were collected from the Hospital inpatient management system and review of medical records through a structured proforma that included demographic variables, cause of soft tissue defects (secondary to open fractures, following debridement of chronic infected wounds, tumor excision and defects following release of scar contractures), side of defects, size and type of flap (supramalleolar or sural artery), complications and long-term outcome of the flap.

Who may be able to join

  • Only defects of foot and ankle around dorsum and perimalleolar areas were included.

Who cannot join

  • The defects reconstructed with other local flaps and free flaps were excluded from this review

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Distally Based Sural Artery and Supramalleolar Flap for Coverage of Dorsum of Foot and Ankle Defects; A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF 53 PATIENTS

Our main aim for this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome comparisons between sural artery and Supramalleolar flap in the reconstruction of extensive defects of non-weight bearing regions of foot and ankle. The patients' information were collected through medical records and analyzed through SPSS

Read the detailed description

In this article we intend to present our experience comparing a series of the two types of flaps in terms of viability, coverage of defect, cosmetic appearance, and functions of foot and ankle based on self-designed Tool . This Tool contains 4 parameters i.e., Activity of daily living, coverage of defect, cosmetic appearance of Skin post flap, and Weight bearing status. A score was given to each parameter and on the basis of these scores, Long term outcome were analyzed of each patient
