Abstract

Objectives:The evaluate preliminary results of using the lateral supramalleolar flap in the soft tissue reconstruction of ankle and foot defects at Thai Nguyen national hospital.

The average follow-up time was 30 months. The clinical outcome was assessed by a Self-Designed Tool based on flap survival, coverage of defect, functional activities of daily living. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 20.0. The preliminary Results:  Excellence, has 19/24 cases, accounting for 80%; Good, has 04/24 cases, accounting for 16%; Bad, has 01/24 cases, accounting for 4%. Flaps survived in all cases. All patients had satisfactory functional outcomes without significant morbidity of the donor site.
