title: [Experimental and clinical of the range of the posterior tibial island flap].
abstract: Basing on anatomical studies (20 dissected lower extremities) and clinical experiences (4 cases), the paper presents local transposition possibilities of a distally pedicled tibial flap (pedicled on the posterior tibial artery). The flap allowed for soft-tissue coverage of 2/3 of the plantar side of the foot and 1/4 of the dorsal aspect of the foot.
