Abstract

Perforator based Propeller flaps offer a durable option for coverage of leg defects, especially the difficult to address areas involving the distal 1/3 of the leg, medial and lateral malleolus defects. However, they are technically demanding to execute. To observe the outcomes which arose following execution of Propeller flaps for resurfacing leg defects, 18 patients underwent Propeller flaps for coverage of leg defects between December 2021 and November 2022 were included. Outcomes were affixed as uncomplicated healing, partial flap loss or total flap loss. Secondary procedures performed to manage the complications are also noted.
