Abstract

Background: The flap containing the anterior tibial transverse branch consists of thin, malleable tissue features and has a large, long peduncle. For small and medium-sized malformations, flaps containing anterior tibial artery perforation are a good choice as an alternative to radial free flaps. Objectives: (1) To examine the origin and size of the anterior tibial artery; (2) To examine the branches of the anterior tibial artery. Materials and methods: Study design to report a series of cases performed on 20 cadavers (40 anterior tibial arteries) immersed in formol with lower extremities intact, not dissected at the Department of Anatomy - University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City. Results: The anterior tibial artery had an average diameter of 6.11±0.67mm and an average length of 26.80±2.16mm. The average number of perforating branches of the anterior tibial artery was 3, with at least 1 branch and at most 8 branches. The mean diameter of the anterior tibial recurrent artery was 2.55±0.41 mm, the posterior tibial recurrent artery: 2.62±1.04 mm, the medial ankle artery: 2.16±0.43 mm, and the external ankle pulse: 2.23±0.53mm. Conclusion: Reliable anterior transtibial branches can be found on the target line of the anterior tibial artery, which is helpful in designing skin flaps with pedicles feeding the anterior transtibial branch.
