This study examined the clinical effects of repairing pretibial and foot soft tissue defects with a medial crural fasciocutaneous flap. Twenty-three injury cases with soft tissue defects in the middle\/lower parts of the tibia and ankle\/heel were treated. Of these, 8 injuries were in the lower pretibial region, 11 injuries were in the heel, and 4 injuries were in the dorsalis pedis. The dimensions of the soft tissue defects ranged from 7 cm \u00d7 5 cm to 18 cm \u00d7 10 cm. The crural fasciocutaneous flap was used for wound repair in all cases. The skin harvest dimensions ranged from 12 cm \u00d7 6 cm to 23 cm \u00d7 12 cm, and the width of the reverse flap pedicle was greater than 4 cm. The patients were followed up for 6 to 27 months postsurgery. All flaps survived and appeared healthy, and leg function was satisfactorily recovered. Five patients suffered from distal flap necrosis and 2 patients suffered from effusion. The area of the crural fasciocutaneous flap harvest appeared to have a good blood supply, and the procedure was easy to perform without injuries to the main vasculature. In conclusion, the medial crural fasciocutaneous flap is a safe and effective clinical intervention for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the pretibial area and foot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1534734615597864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T21:49:28Z","timestamp":1439934568000},"page":"34-40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Repairing
