Résumé
Our study reports 4 cases of male patients with wounds on the anterior face of the knee loosing cutaneous substance after motorcycle accident. The patients had undergone surgery involving the debridement and the application of four proximally based sural fasciocutaneous flaps since 2012. The average age of patients ranged from 28 to 42 years. The highest loss of cutaneous substance measured 14 x 10 cm. The average pedicle length was 14 cm. The post-operative suites were uneventful with a satisfactory wound healing. From a functional point of view the knee and the ankle were completely mobile. This study shows the effectiveness and reliability of proximally based sural fasciocutaneous flap in the coverage of post-traumatic losses of cutaneous substances of the anterior face of the knee, and allows for limit the indications for heads of the gastrocnemius muscle flaps.
