Operative technique to harvest an arterial flap from the posterolateral calf region: how can we elevate a lateral gastrocnemius perforating artery flap safely?

abstract：BACKGROUND: Limb-threatening lower extremity traumatic injuries can be devastating events with a multifaceted impact on patients. Therefore, evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in addition to traditional surgical outcomes is important. However, currently available instruments are limited as they were not develo...
