Figure Legends:
Figure 1: The patient whose defect was repaired with PAP based rotation flap
  1. Posterior view of skin-soft tissue defect.
  2. Digitally substracted view of superselective angiography of PAP. The flap was designed according to the suitable perforator located nearest to the defect.
  3. The designed PAP based rotation flap
  4. Two years follow-up
PAP: Peroneal artery perforator
Figure 2: Shallow Achilles overlying skin reconstruction with PTA based hatchet flap
  1. Acute defect of the skin overlying the Achilles tendon
  2. Harvested medially based hatched fasciocutaneous flap (yellow spots show probable location of PTA perforators)
  3. Two years follow-up
PTA: posterior tibial artery
Figure 3: Traumatic Achilles region defect reconstructed with free MSAP flap
  1. Unhealed Achilles overlying skin defect
  2. The harvested MSAP flap
  3. Two months follow-up
MSAP: medial sural artery perforator
Figure 4: Achilles overlying skin defect reconstruction with free SCIP flap
Exposed Achilles tendon
Advanced and re-sutured SCIP flap
SCIP: superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator
Figure 5: The patient whose composite Achilles region defect were repaired with flow-through ALT-TFL chimeric flap and sural nerve graft.
  1. Medial view of perforated and burnt lower extremity due to hot metal injury
  2. Peroperative view of the posterior tibial neurovascular defect
  3. Inset of flow-through ALT-TFL chimeric flap. Note that the TFL mimics Achilles tendon, the vascular pedicle mimics the posterior tibial artery and vein, and the sural nerve graft mimics the posterior tibial nerve
  4. Two years follow-up
PSPTN: Proximal stump of posterior tibial nerve; PVS: proximal vascular stump; DSPTN: distal stump of posteriot tibial nerve; DVS: distal vascular stump; ALT: anterolateral thigh; TFL: tensor fascia lata; LCFA: lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery; FTP: flow-through pedicle, NG: nerve graft
