    Abstract
  •   Objective  To investigate the clinical effects of lateral supramalleolar perforator island flaps with low rotation points in repairing foot skin and soft tissue defect wounds.  Methods  The retrospective observational study was conducted. From October 2017 to August 2020, 14 patients (6 males and 8 females, aged 14-77 years) with foot skin and soft tissue defect wounds were admitted to Lanzhou University Second Hospital, including 4 cases of plantar skin tumor, 4 cases of chronic plantar ulcer, 4 cases of foot traffic injury, and 2 cases of residual wounds after deep foot burns. The wound size was 2.0 cm×2.0 cm to 7.0 cm×5.0 cm after tumor resection or debridement, which was repaired with island flap pedicled with the descending branch of the lateral supramalleolar perforator and the rotation point located at the lower front edge of the lateral ankle. The size of the flap ranged from 3.0 cm×2.0 cm to 8.0 cm×6.0 cm, and the length of vascular pedicle ranged from 8.0 to 14.0 cm. The flap was transferred by subcutaneous tunnel to repair the wound. The donor site wound of the flap was repaired with medium thickness skin graft from the lateral thigh. The survival of flaps, wound healing of the donor and recipient sites, and the occurrence of complications after operation were observed. The appearances of flaps and donor sites, and foot function were observed during follow-up.  Results  The flaps of 14 patients survived successfully after operation, and the wounds in the donor and recipient sites healed well, without vascular crisis, venous congestion, or other complications. Follow-up for 2 to 24 months showed that the flaps had good appearance without bloating and were wear-resistant, the functions of wearing shoes and walking were not affected, and there was no obvious scar hyperplasia or hyperpigmentation at the donor site.  Conclusions  With the descending branch of the lateral supramalleolar perforator as the pedicle and the rotation point located at the lower front edge of the lateral ankle, the island flap has a good effect in repairing the skin and soft tissue defect wound of the foot because of its reliable blood supply, simple design and operation, no need for vascular anastomosis, low rotation point, long vascular pedicle, and large radius of rotation.
