The length, caliber and course of the perforating branch of the peroneal artery are described following examination of both feet of 20 cadavers. This terminal branch of the peroneal artery has a constant, predictable course and may normally be sacrificed without any vascular compromise in the foot. It has great surgical potential at it is strategically situated so that it can act as a vascular pedicle for a large cutaneous flap situated on the lower lateral leg, with an axis of rotation centered at the midtarsal joint. This has been used by the senior author (AC Masquelet) as a pedicle flap and as an island flap for reconstruction of the foot and ankle with satisfying results.
在对20具尸体的双足进行检查后，描述了腓动脉穿支的长度、管径和走行。腓动脉的这一终末分支走行恒定、可预测，通常在不影响足部血供的情况下可予以牺牲。它具有巨大的手术潜力，因为其位置具有策略性，可作为位于小腿下外侧的大型皮瓣的血管蒂，旋转轴位于中跗关节中心。资深作者（AC Masquelet）已将其用作带蒂皮瓣和岛状皮瓣来重建足踝，效果令人满意。
