Notes:
Summary Sixteen cases of reconstruction of leg and foot defects were performed in our clinic using the reverse-flow peroneal island flap. Complete survival was obtained in thirteen cases. This flap can be transferred more distally than the conventional island flap. Operation requires only a one-stage procedure and microsurgical skill is not necessary. It is a thin flap and cosmetically acceptable. No recurrence of ulceration or difficulty in walking have so far been reported. There were no complications related to venous drainage in any of these cases.
