| Abstract | While the vascular anatomy to the lower extremity is fairly consistent, anatomical variants do exist. One such variant is the arteria peronea magna. This anatomic variant results in single vessel arterial flow to the foot through an enlarged peroneal artery with unique distal branching. The focus of interest in this vascular pattern in microsurgery has been increased risk of lower extremity devascularization during harvest of a free fibular flap for reconstruction at other anatomical sites. This altered anatomy, however, also alters the availability of target vessels during microsurgical reconstruction of an injured lower extremity with this vascular pattern. To date only one successful free flap to a lower extremity with arteria peronea magna has been reported. Here we report a second successful reconstruction of an injured lower extremity with this vascular anatomy. |
