[Neurocutaneous flap of the external saphenous nerve. A safe, easy and fast procedure for covering loss of substances of the ankle. A propos of 5 cases].
The distally based sural neurocutaneous flap is another procedure to cover the heel. It is an island flap based on the vascular axis of the sural nerve in the lower two thirds of the leg. The nerve is included in the pedicle after proximal section (it is therefore not a sensitive flap). The size of the flap, length of the pedicle, absence of vascular sacrifice, the simple procedure, and minor consequences at the donor site led us to use this technique five time over on period of four months with success.
