The specialized nature of its skin and subcutaneous tissue makes reconstruction arduous. When posed with complex bilateral lower extremity trauma where one limb was nonsalvageable, we harvested the uninjured foot fillet flap for free flap cover to reconstruct the contralateral sole. We report two such cases with follow-up assessment.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>Two cases of sole reconstruction with emergency foot fillet free flap scavenged from the amputated contralateral limb were retrospectively analyzed. In both the patients, foot fillet free flap based on the posterior tibial neurovascular bundle was used. The follow-up assessment data collected included flap status, presence of any complications and prosthesis use, and functional status of the limbs at final follow-up.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Both the free flaps survived. Postoperative period was uneventful. No complications such as wound infection, delayed healing, flap necrosis, or scar breakdown were noted. The plantar flaps had recovery of protective sensation.

Loss of the plantar aspect of foot poses a real challenge. The plantar foot fillet free flap is a durable flap with preservation of plantar sensations.

A retrospective study was done on all patients who visited a level 1 trauma center in India from November 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018, for various amputations. The medical records and digital pictures of these patients were extracted from the records and analyzed. During the study period, 77 replants were performed on 63 patients at our center. Males were 68% of the study, mostly belonging to the 20 to 40 years age group (63%). Thirty-four percent of cases were smokers. Agricultural injuries (49%) were the most common cause of amputation. Finger replantation was the most common type of replantation (82%). The rate of successful replantation was highest for scalp (100%) followed by hand (71%) and thumb (67%). Setting up dedicated replantation services is essential, especially in highly populated areas. Manpower, resources, and a protocol-led approach help in achieving optimum results.

Open harvest with longitudinal incisions produces unsightly scars, and this have led to development of less invasive techniques using endoscopes, nerve stripper, and mini-incisions. Several anatomical classifications have also been proposed due to the variations in the anatomy of the sural nerve. A simple and practical surgicoanatomical classification of the sural nerve based on which we have refined our minimal access technique, the multiple mini-incision technique for sural nerve harvest is proposed. In this technique, the incisions required for harvest of the sural nerve are standardized and predictable. A fibular incision is required when the sural nerve has major contribution from the common peroneal nerve. We have found this a simpler and reliable technique of harvest of sural nerve in nerve reconstructive surgery.","PeriodicalId":45368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"5 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135679830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
