U.A.Kurbanov, A.A.Davlatov, S.M.Janobilova, M.Nosiri

The work is devoted surgical treatment of soft tissue defects of calcaneal area with application medial plantar flap at 12 patients. In the 5 cases flap is replaced in a free variant from contralateral foot. In the other 7 cases medial plantar flap is moved to in a neurovascular pedicle from the ipsilateral foot. Including in 2 cases in the absence of magisterial blood-groove on tibial posterior arteries it was applied a non-standard way flap mobilization, developed by authors. The analysis of the remote results has shown that all applied variants of a flap have equally good efficiency, and the choice of a variant of a flap is dictated by a condition of soft tissue plantar side of the ipsilateral and contralateral foots, the defect area, and also a blood-groove condition in vessels of pool of tibial posterior artery.

Keywords: medial plantar flap, soft tissue defects of calcaneal area.
