title: [The distal pedicle fasciocutaneous flaps of the leg. Analysis of 21 cases of lower limb reconstruction].
abstract: The fascio-cutaneous flaps with distal pedicle, with the new discoveries on fascial and septal circulation of the lower limbs, are a valid reconstructing method for the loss of substance localized on the third inferior of the leg and in the heel's region. In 21 patients, 18 men and 3 women, fascio-cutaneous flaps were employed for the traumatic loss of substance, just in two cases consequentially to removal of maligns lesions, all of them were omolaterals except in three cases in which cross-leg were used. The results are satisfying if we remember that just in two cases we had partial necrosis and in other two cases we had to reinstate the flap which had survived just in his deep position. The advantages of using this technique are supported by his good results and simple execution, realising anyhow that complicated or contaminated trumas need more complex plastic reconstruction.
