title: [Defect coverage of the extremities with distal pedicled flap-plasty].
abstract: Clinical consideration of anatomy of skin vascularity led to the establishment of distally pedicled flaps in the extremities. In certain situations, distally pedicled flaps are a quick and safe alternative to free microvascular tissue transplantation or distant pedicled flaps. However, an exact indication for this method as well as exact planning and performance of the operation is necessary for success. A synopsis of clinical applications of distally pedicled flaps is given.
