Tissue expansion of free and pedicled flaps after transfer: possibilities and indications.

abstract：BACKGROUND: The distal lower extremity poses unique reconstructive challenges due to its requirements for durability of the load-bearing plantar surface and for thin, pliable contour in the dorsal foot and ankle region. This study compares outcomes between muscle and fasciocutaneous flaps in patients with foot and ankl...
