An anatomic study of the perforators from the peroneal artery. A new method to locate the cutaneous perforator.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The goal of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the perforators from the peroneal artery in Vietnamese patients.

Methods

30 cadaver's legs were dissected and investigated for the distribution, course, origin, number and types of perforators of the peroneal artery. The locations of the exit points on the skin of perforators were marked in relation to reference points and segments.

Results

The total number of cutaneous perforating branches of the peroneal artery from 30 specimens was 149, which included 63 (42.2%) musculocutaneous perforators and 86 (57.8%) septocutaneous perforators. In most cases, the perforator branches were located in the range from 4 to 7 of the total fibula length (69.8%). The average number of perforating vessels in a leg was
