The results of injection studies in cadavers and in vivo flap construction suggested that a flap based on the medial or lateral gastrocnemius muscle and the skin of the popliteal fossa draining to the long or short saphenous systems respectively provides a good length to breadth ratio flap without prior delay. Such a flap based on the medial gastrocnemius muscle was used successfully in 1 patient.
