title: [The new concept of the cutaneous vascular framework in the leg].
abstract: An anatomical study was carried out using 15 legs of fresh cadavers. According to skin angiography, the authors set up a new concept of the vascular structure of skin and skin flap. The characteristics of the blood supply to the skin were revealed and analyzed. The first vascular frame unit, the second vascular frame unit and the superficial fascial network were described. The willow-shaped descending vascular branches were found and discussed, and they constituted a special blood supply in subcutaneous tissue.
