The vasculature and clinical application of the posterior tibial perforator-based flap.

Use of thge posterior tibial flap pedicled on the posterior tibial vessels has been described by several authors, but with its there is the major disadvantage of an unavoidable transection of the psoterior tibial artery. To overcome this disadvantage, we anatomically studied the perforators from the posterior tibial artery and used posterior tibial perforator-based flaps clinically
