title: [Lateral calcaneal flap in the reconstruction of the calcaneal and malleolar region].
abstract: The authors discuss the efficacy of the lateral calcaneal artery flap in repairing the calcaneal and malleolar regions. The lateral calcaneal artery flap is a safe flap, with constant vascularization represented by the lateral calcaneal artery and the external saphenous vein; the flap has a sensory nerve (the sural nerve) and is a sensory flap. Its use in the calcaneal and malleolar region is very safe, because the vascular pedicle is constant and surgical transfer easy.
