“…Although the capsule itself contributes to vascularization of the flap if the operative procedure is well planned and the blood supply of the skin flap is sound, excision of the capsule is not a problem. Vascularization of the advanced flap on the proximal third of the leg is based on multiple musculocutaneous perforators [3].…”

The case of a 16-year-old girl with a contracted scar on the popliteal fossa which impaired full extension of her left leg is reported together with the management of the case. Two serial skin expansions with an expander placed in the posterior proximal third of the leg were performed. The scar was completely excised and covered with the expanded skin. The result was fully successful, allowing full extension of the leg, and the aesthetic appearance was improved.

“…The main arteries of the body were reexamined with an emphasis on the perforating branches which provide direct skin vascularization. Flaps, that are based on the blood vessels passing through the septum duplication in the lower leg, consist of skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and deep fascia and are named fasciocutaneous flaps 2,3 . They can be either direct or indirect flaps 4 .…”

Anatomic study of septocutaneous system of the human fetuses’ lower leg: Posterior tibial artery

Background/Aim. Lower-leg septocutaneous system of perforating blood vessels represents the vascular basis of fasciocutaneous flaps. Additionally, it is of a particular importance when designing distally based fasciocutaneous flaps which represent the "workhorse" in the reconstruction of the distal third of the lower leg and foot. The aim of this study was to analyse the vascular anatomy of posterior tibial artery and its septocutaneous (fasciocutaneous) perforating arterial vessels. Methods. The dissection was conducted on 20 fetuses of both sexes and of gestational age from 20 to 28 weeks. Cluster analysis was applied to the data on vascular anatomy of posterior tibial artery and its septocutaneous performating arterial vessels. Results. A total of 212 perforating arterial vessels was identified. The average number of perforating arterial vessels was 5.32 (ranging from 4 to 7). It
