title: [Application of the local flap pedicled with a superficial vein in the repair of limb wounds].
abstract: Fourteen cases of limb wounds were repaired with the local flap pedicled with a superficial vein. All the flaps survived with satisfactory results. The superficial vein that speeds drainage from the flap can also provide blood supply to the flap, which is beneficial to the survival of the flap. The ratio of length to width of the flap is greater than that of the traditional flap. The creation of the flap is easy and the nearby artery is intact. The technique details are described in the article.
