However, it is generally accepted that interruption of one of these arteries contraindicates the use of these flaps. In this paper, two reverse-flow island flaps are presented, based on the anterior tibial artery or posterior tibial artery which were interrupted below the ankle. The supply of these flaps depends on the arterial network around the malleoli.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSurgeryFoot reconstructionReverse-flow island flapSoft tissue coverageFasciocutaneous flapMuscle flapIsland flapTibial flapLower legOsteomyelitisArticle0000901456000062-s2.0-0033789188373376237SurgeryPerforator Flap; Flaps (Control Surfaces); Tibial ArteriesAdultAmputation stumpArtery blood flowArticleCase reportComorbidityFoot amputationFoot injuryHumanLeg blood flowMaleNeurovascular island flapOsteomyelitisPlastic surgeryPriority journalSoft tissue defectSurgical techniqueTibial arteryTreatment outcomeWound care
