[Inferior pedicled gastrocnemius flap in the treatment of soft tissue defects of the distal lower leg (case report)]. 1987

J Bruns, and W J Höltje

The inferiorly based gastrocnemius muscle flap is reported. This is a new method, first described by Bashir in 1983, that allows repair of soft-tissue defects of the most distal part of the calf without arterial or venous anastomosis. The surgical technique is described and advantages and disadvantages compared to other methods.
