Our cadaver dissection demonstrated that the lateral calcaneal artery is large enough for microsurgical anastomosis. Based on the finding, the lateral calcaneal flap was first successfully applied as a free flap that included the lesser saphenous vein and the sural nerve in the pedicle. This thin sensory flap, dispensing with main arterial damage, is indicated for the lesion of the posterior heel, plantar, and hand.
我们的尸体解剖表明，跟外侧动脉粗大，足以进行显微外科吻合。基于这一发现，跟外侧皮瓣首次作为一种游离皮瓣成功应用，其蒂部包含小隐静脉和腓肠神经。这种薄的感觉皮瓣，无需损伤主要动脉，适用于足跟后部、足底和手部的损伤。
