With reference to the data reported in the literature and to the anatomical vascular basis, the authors expose different techniques and maneuvers used for dissection of gastrocnemius flaps. The use of muscular and myocutaneous gastrocnemius flaps and some modifications of the standard surgical technique aiming to gain more versatility are described. So that, the range of these flaps can be planned to cover the greatest part of the lower extremity of the leg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
