An alternative method to free flap for distal leg and foot defects due to electrical burn injury: Distally Based Cross-Leg Sural FlapCengiz Eser, Erol Kesiktaş, Eyüphan Gencel, Emrah Efe Aslaner, Metin YavuzDepartment Of Plastic Surgery, Cukurova University, Adana, TurkeyHigh voltage electrical injuries can cause devastating results especially in distal extremities. Althought the free flaps are the golden standards for the reconstruction of these defects, sometimes local flap alternatives are more useful. One of the most favorable local flap is distally based sural flap (DBSF). This flap can be used in cross-leg fashion when ipsilateral extremity is affected by a high voltage electrical injury.
