Clinical Trial: Resurfacing of Foot and Distal Leg Soft Tissue Defects Using Reversed Pedicled Peroneal Artery Flaps Augmented by Superficial Sural Artery

U.S., March 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07453199) titled 'Resurfacing of Foot and Distal Leg Soft Tissue Defects Using Reversed Pedicled Peroneal Artery Flaps Augmented by Superficial Sural Artery' on Feb. 19.

Brief Summary: Wounds involving the skin and soft tissue of the lower leg, ankle, heel, and foot can be difficult to treat because there is very little skin and tissue available in that area to cover the wound. When the wound is large or involves exposed bone or tendon, a flap, which is a piece of skin and tissue moved from a nearby area, is needed to close it.
