Abstract

The anatomical region "laterodorsal calf" with the fibula, the flexor muscles and the overlying skin served by the peroneal vessels, is a suitable donor region particularly for combined microsurgical transfer of bone and soft tissue. In a five and a half year period, 59 reconstructions, 39 (66%) with and 20 (34%) without soft tissue transfer, were performed. The versatility and the functional and esthetic results after osseous, osteocutaneous, osteomuscular and osteomyocutaneous tissue transfer are presented.
