[Lateral calcaneal flaps].
The authors have studied the cutaneous vascularization of the lateral side of the ankle. Different technics of vascular injection have identified a cutaneous flap based on the lateral calcaneal artery, a collateral branch of the posterior peroneal artery. This flap can be used to cover the chronic ulceration of the achilleen region.
