The Dorsalis pedis perforator flap is a thin and pliable fasciocutaneous tissue. No previous study has demonstrated the surgical anatomy among Asians. Demonstrate the surgical anatomy of Dorsalis pedis perforator flap in 12 limbs from Thai cadavers. We found the Dorsalis pedis perforators in all limbs and average the distance of distal perforators was 3.25+0.5 cm proximal to the metatarso-phalangeal joint. The first dorsal metatarsal artery was mainly type 1 (83.3%) while another 16.7% were type 2. Dorsalis pedisperforator flaps were versatile with a constant surgical anatomy and acceptable donor site morbidity.

D016909 Tibial Arteries The anterior and posterior arteries created at the bifurcation of the popliteal artery. The anterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle and lies along the tibia at the distal part of the leg to surface superficially anterior to the ankle joint. Its branches are distributed throughout the leg, ankle, and foot. The posterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, lies behind the tibia in the lower part of its course, and is found situated between the medial malleolus and the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity. Its branches are distributed throughout the leg and foot.
