Posterior Tibial Artery Cross-Leg Perforator Flap

Lower extremity traumatic injuries with exposed vessels mandate prompt repair. Here the authors present a traumatic case in which a contralateral “septocutaneous tibialis posterior artery perforator”–based cross-leg flap was used to cover an open wound.
