Özet
The availability of local tissue in distal 1/3 of the leg and around the ankle is limited, and the difficulty in re-establishing soft-tissue coverage for these defects continues to challenge surgical procedures. In this study, two cases who had the soft-tissue defects around the lateral malleol reconstructed with the distally pedicled peroneus brevis muscle flap were discussed. The first case was a 30-year-old male patient, who had 4 cm x 2 cm soft-tissue defect with bony exposure, inferior to the lateral malleol after a gunshot injury. The second case was a 26-year-old male patient who had 5 cm x 3 cm soft-tissue defect with exposed metal implant, distal to the lateral malleolus after a traffic accident. Both of the patients were quite satisfied with the esthetic results. The distal pedicled peroneus brevis muscle flap should be kept in mind as a reliable and relatively easy flap option for the reconstruction of the soft-tissue defects around the lateral malleol with good results.
