This study describes the anatomical basis and design of the perforator\u2010based intermediate dorsal pedal neurocutaneous vascular flap. Thirty fresh human lower limb specimens were injected with red latex and used for dissection of the dorsal vascular and neural anatomy of the foot. The direction and distribution of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve and the vascular anatomy of the third dorsal artery of the plantar arch, along with the intermediate dorsal neurocutaneous nutrient vessels, were mapped. A simulated flap elevation procedure was performed on one fresh cadaver specimen. A clinical series of five cases is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of using the perforator\u2010based intermediate dorsal pedal neurocutaneous vascular flap to reconstruct soft\u2010tissue defects of the forefoot. The intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve usually originates from the lateral branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. Crossing the surface of the cruciate ligament, it descends distally to the proximal part of the fourth intermetatarsal space and divides into the third and fourth dorsal metatarsal branches. The intermediate dorsal cutaneous neural nutrient vessels, which are multi\u2010segmental and polyphyletic, offer innervation to the skin paddle of the flap elevated on the basis of the third dorsal perforator of the plantar arch. This perforator occupies a relatively constant position in the proximal part of the intermetatarsal space. It sends multiple tiny branches toward the intermediate dorsal cutaneous neural or paraneural nutrient vessel chain. In terms of clinical application, all flaps survived completely; one patient had partial loss of the skin graft. The design and anatomical basis of the intermediate dorsal pedal neurocutaneous vascular flap based on the third dorsal perforator of the plantar arch is a reliable reconstructive option for reconstructing small soft tissue defects in the forefoot.
