Axial bilobed flap based on the median and medial superficial sural arteries: A case report

The anatomy of the sural artery has been adequately described, but its appl ications are constantly evolving. Based on pre-existing anatomical studies, an axial bilobed flap based on the median and medial superficial sural art eries was developed and used in one patient for the reconstruction of a con tracture of the popliteal area. The main advantages of this flap are that t he donor site is closed primarily, it provides an adequate amount of health y and pliable skin with an excellent blood supply and no chance of contract ion, and it is an easy technique.
