This document provides information on the fibular free flap (FFF), including its anatomy, surgical technique, and applications. Some key points:
- The FFF is based on the peroneal artery and its venae comitantes. It provides a vascularized segment of bone for reconstruction, often of the mandible or maxilla.
- Important anatomical structures include the fibula itself, the peroneal muscles, and perforating vessels that pass through the posterior crural septum to supply the skin.
- Surgical steps include marking the donor leg, elevating the skin and muscle cuff, performing osteotomies, and harvesting the vascular pedicle containing artery and vein(s).
The free fibula flap technique involves harvesting a skin paddle and segment of the fibula bone based on a vascular pedicle from the peroneal artery. Key steps include:
1. Identifying perforators from the peroneal artery to the skin and outlining a skin paddle.
2. Elevating muscles from the fibula bone and performing osteotomies to harvest the fibula segment.
3. Dissecting the peroneal artery and its branches to isolate the vascular pedicle.
4. Verifying adequate blood flow to the foot before transecting the pedicle to the desired length.
The radial forearm flap is based on the radial artery and its venae comitantes. It has a long history of use since the 1970s for reconstructing various head and neck, facial, and extremity defects. The radial forearm flap has reliable anatomy, can be harvested as a pedicle or free flap, and provides a thin, pliable skin that is well-suited for reconstruction. The flap is elevated along a fascial plane, with the radial artery and venae comitantes preserved. While it is very reliable, complications can include tendon tethering, infection, and donor site morbidity like weakness or pain.
The document describes the anterolateral thigh flap, noting its arterial supply from branches of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, venous drainage by venae comitantes, and versatility in providing skin, fascia, muscle or combinations as a pedicled or free flap.

This document describes the ilioinguinal surgical approach. It involves making a skin incision from above the pubic symphysis to the iliac crest. The external oblique muscle is released to expose the internal iliac fossa. The femoral vessels and nerves are mobilized by releasing muscles from the inguinal ligament. This provides three windows of exposure - the internal iliac fossa, pelvic brim, and a limited view between the rectus muscle and spermatic cord. The approach is used for fractures of the anterior pelvic wall and columns.
This document summarizes different surgical approaches for acetabular fracture fixation:
The Kocher-Langenbeck approach involves a posterior incision and retracting the gluteus maximus to access posterior wall and column fractures. The ilioinguinal approach uses an anterior incision to expose the anterior wall and column through three windows. The iliofemoral approach extends the ilioinguinal incision distally along the thigh. The modified Stoppa's approach involves a transverse incision above the pubis and retracting the rectus abdominis to access anterior and transverse fractures. The modified Gibson's approach develops the interval between gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae lata rather than splitting the gluteus

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

separates the anterior from
the posterior compartment.
The lateral compartment
overlies the lateral fibula and
is separated from the other
two compartments by anterior
and posterior crural
intermuscular septa attached
to the fibula. A transverse
crural intermuscular septum
divides the posterior
compartment into superficial
and deep compartments.
8. CONTENTS OF COMPARTMENTS
Anterior compartment
• Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis
longus, extensor digitorum brevis,
peroneus tertius
• Tibialis anterior artery & vein
• Deep peroneal nerve
Lateral compartment
• Peroneus longus, peroneus brevis
• Superficial peroneal nerve
• Blood supply to peroneal muscles are
branches of the peroneal artery which lie
within the posterior compartment
12. The FFF is based on the peroneal artery and its venae
comitantes.
VASCULATURE
13. Perforators supplying the skin run around the fibula via the posterior
crural septum
Fibula – Blood Supply
Periosteal
Endosteal
Endosteal supply is via a branch of the
peroneal artery which usually enters the
bone at the junction of its proximal and
middle thirds; this supply plays a role in
long bone reconstruction where no
osteotomies are performed
Periosteal blood supply is critical to
vascularity of the bone when the fibula is
shaped by performing osteotomies. Therefore,
as much periosteum as possible, as well as a
cuff of muscle, is preserved around the fibula.
The periosteal supply to the distal two thirds of
the bone is via the peroneal vessels
14. The head of the fibula and a
variable length of the
proximal third of the fibula
are supplied by the anterior
tibial vessels via the anterior
recurrent tibial and/or lateral
inferior genicular recurrent
branches
15.
16. NERVE- THE SURAL, COMMON PERONEAL AND
SUPERFICIAL PERONEAL NERVES ARE VULNERABLE
DURING ELEVATION OF A FFF.
The sciatic nerve divides into the
tibial and common peroneal nerves in
the superior popliteal fossa. The
tibial nerve gives off the medial sural
cutaneous nerve which descends
between the two heads of the
gastrocnemius, pierces the deep
fascia at about the middle of the back
of the leg, to innervate the medial
calf
17. Determining the vascular status of the FFF.
H/o intermittent claudication, deep vein thrombosis, lower limb
trauma and the presence of varicose veins.
Previous lower limb trauma or fractures may warrant X-rays.
Assess the circulation of the foot and quality of the skin.
Only if there is concern about possible arterial or venous
insufficiency are further investigations indicated. Duplex colour
flow Doppler will usually suffice. Only very rarely is CT
angiography or invasive angiography indicated.
Should there be concern about vascularity an alternative donor
site should be considered.
PREOPERATIVE EVALUATION
18. 2-team approach
A tourniquet is placed around the thigh and a 3-litre infusion
bag is placed under the buttock on the side of the FFF to
internally rotate the leg as much as possible.
SURGICAL SETUP
19. Factors to consider include:
Is a skin paddle required?
Is the skin paddle to be used for internal or external construction?
(the pedicle(s) to the skin island passes from the peroneal vessels
around the posterior aspect of the fibula and exits the posterior
crural septum)
What side of the neck will be used for the donor vessels?
WHICH DONOR LEG TO USE?
Donor leg for mandible reconstruction
20. Elevate the leg 60 degree without exsanguinating the leg
POSITION OF THE LEG
Tourniquet
• Inflate tourniquet to at least 100mmHg above the patient’s
systolic blood pres-sure (adults)
• Record the tourniquet inflation time; the surgeon should be
informed when tourniquet has been inflated for 60min
• There is no clear-cut rule as to how long a tourniquet may be
safely inflated for
• A maximum tourniquet time of 90min for the leg has been
proposed; there-after deflating the cuff for 15 minutes to
allow reperfusion; then the cuff can be reinflated for another
90 minutes
21. SKIN MARKINGS
The FFF is based on the peroneal artery and its venae comitantes; perforators
enter the skin via the posterior crural septum
STEP 1 -
Mark the head of the fibula and
lateral malleolus
• Draw a line along the posterior border of the fibula along the posterior crural
intermuscular septum. This is visible as the indentation between the peroneus (superior
to the line) and soleus muscles (posterior to the line)
• Mark the distal osteotomy site by drawing a transverse line at the level of the planned
osteotomy; at least 5cm (preferably >7cm if less bone is required) above the projection
of the lateral malleolus to maintain ankle stability .
• Beware of the superficial peroneal nerve which is located 3-4cm anterior to the
longitudinal line in the lower half of the leg, and the sural nerve which is 3-4cm posterior
to this line
22. When harvesting a FFF it is
of paramount importance to
retain at least 5-6cms of
distal fibula to maintain the
integrity of the distal
interosseous membrane and
of the ligaments mentioned
in order to preserve the
stability of the ankle
23. Plan the dimensions of the skin flap
Mark the width of the flap on the leg; it
may be as narrow as 1cm or as broad as
12cm.
STEP 2 – DIMENSIONOF THE FLAP
• If a long flap is required, centre it over the junction of the distal and middle thirds
of the leg
• With smaller flaps one runs the risk of not positioning it over a perforator; the safer
option is first to incise the skin along the anterior margin of the flap in a gentle curve,
permitting one to extend the length of the skin island if a perforator is situated
outside the initial mark-up
When harvesting a narrow skin island, it is
critical to determine the position of the
posterior crural intermuscular septum as it
carries the perforators; the safer option is to
harvest a wider flap which is trimmed later
24. STEP 3 -RAISING THE
FLAP
Make and incision along the anterior margin
of the skin flap
Knee - extended OR flexed ????
Avoid the superficial peroneal nerve where it lies
just beneath the deep fas-cia as it courses from
lateral to a more anterior position and
subcutaneously in the lower third of the lower leg
27. STEP 4 – EXPOSURE
OF LATERAL COMP
AND PERFORATORS
Retract the anterior edge of the
flap laterally with skin hooks
placed on the deep fascia; cat’s
paw retractors are used to pull the
peroneal muscles anteriorly
Use a #15 scalpel blade to separate the peroneal muscles from the
deep fascia up to the posterior crural intermus-cular septum
28. As sharp dissection is continued poste-riorly
along the septum, one or two perforators will
come into view as they curl around the
posterior margin of the fibula . Mark their
positions on the skin and deep fascia with ink
29. STEP 4 – POSTERIOR
MARGIN FLAP
• Retract the posterior edge of the flap anterolaterally with
skin hooks; use sharp dissection to elevate the deep fascia off
the soleus muscle up to the posterior aspect of the posterior
crural intermuscular septum where the perforator(s) again
come into view
Dissect the posterior margin of the flap taking care not to
injure the sural nerve and lesser saphenous vein
Small muscular branches to soleus and flexor hallucis
longus may branch from the perforators ; these are ligated
with ligaclips and divided
30. Continue with sharp dissection deep to
soleus; identify flexor hallucis longus and
divide the intermuscular septum that
covers it along its full length
If mobility or propeller rotation of the skin
island is required, the posterior crural septum
may now be divided with scissors, leaving only
enough septum to protect the perforator(s)
from traction injury .
31. Sequence of surgery: blue arrow → red arrow → green arrow → yellow arrow
Now return to the anterior surgical dissection : Green arrow
32. • leaving a 5mm cuff of muscle on the bone. Palpating
with the thumb helps to determine the amount of muscle
cuff to be left on the bone
STEP 5 -DIVISION OF PERONEAL
MUSCLES IN THE LATERAL
COMPARTMENT
Use cautery to extend the dissection through the anterior
crural intermuscular septum
Extend the dissection proximally; when dissecting
proximally beyond the length of bone required for
reconstructtion, a finger is used to strip the proxymal part of
the peronei and anterior crural intermuscular septum off
the bone as no muscular cuff is required there
33. Deeper retractors may now be required to firmly
retract the peronei anteriorly and the extensor
digitorum longus medially
Divide the extensor digitorum longus and the deeper
extensor hallucis long-us fibres with cautery, a few
millime-tres from the free edge of the fibula
STEP 6 -DIVISION OF EXTENSOR DIGITORUM
LONGUS AND THE DEEPER EXTENSOR
HALLUCIS LONG-US FIBRES
34. Expose and divide the interosseous membrane
with electrocautery ; this dissection is
extended proximally to fully release the strong
inter-osseous membrane; if not done it will
prevent the fibula from being retracted
laterally to expose the tibialis posterior
STEP 6 -DIVISION OF INTEROSSEOUS
MEMBRANE
35. Use a metal plate to protect the vessels
• Insert a bone or tendon hook in the marrow cavity at the distal osteotomy to retract the
bone laterally while re-tracting the peroneal and anterior com-partment muscles medially
• This exposes the tibialis posterior muscle; the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal
nerve are seen lying medially on the cut interosseous membrane, lateral to the tibialis
anterior muscle
• This exposure may be difficult; failure to have fully divided the interosseous membrane
will not permit the fibula to swing laterally.
• The segment of fibula is now released laterally
STEP 6 -OSTEOTOMIES
The proximal and distal osteotomies are now performed.
36. Retracting the distal end of the bone laterally, divide the
tibialis posterior muscle from distally-to-proximally with
The peroneal vessels are now seen sloping away from the
bone medially and are ligated adjacent to the distal
osteotomy
STEP 8 - DIVIDE THE TIBIALIS
POSTERIOR MUSCLE
As the tibialis posterior muscle is divided more proximally,
the inter-muscular septum under the muscle and covering
the peroneal vessels is exposed
37. Divide the septum over the medial aspect of the vessels
with scissors. Continue this division proximally until the
peroneal vessels are exposed along their entire lengths;
the large vein(s) lie anterior to the artery
STEP 9 - DIVIDE THE septum
38. The muscle is divided from distally to proximally, leaving a
generous cuff of muscle especially in the area of the
perforating pedicle. Some surgeons prefer to harvest the
whole flexor hallucis muscle with the flap because the
muscle's blood supply originates mainly from the peroneal
vessels; hence the viability of remaining muscle may be
compromised
Once the flap (other than vascular pedicle) is completely
free, the peroneal vessels are inspected
• There are usually two and occasionally three veins.
The most suitable vein is selected and the others are
ligated as only one vein is needed for the anastomosis
STEP 8 - DIVIDE THE THE FLEXOR
HALLUCIS LONGUS
39. THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPING OF
FIBULA
A variety of methods are employed to achieve near-perfect mandibular form and
occlusion. Critical elements are to accurately bend/fashion the reconstruction plate
and to use the plate(s) to plan the osteotomies. The plates can be shaped in the
following ways:
Preplating by contouring the plate on the
exposed mandible prior to resection is done if
tumour does not distort the outer surface of the
mandible; This method assures good form and
occlusion
40. • Preoperative computer-generated mo-del plate contouring,
especially when preplating is not possible due to distortion of the
lateral surface of the mandible by tumour (expensive)
• Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) and "blind" plate contouring after
tumour resection
• Intraoperative external fixation devices and "blind" plate
contouring when IMF not possible
• "Blind" plate contouring after tumour resection
41. The description of FFF that follows is an anterior mandibular
reconstruction with an intraoral flap and anastomosis to the
ipsilateral neck vessels.
42. The mandibular osteotomy sites are marked on the
mandible with the saw
• A (locking) reconstruction plate is fashioned by
contouring it on the outer surface of the mandible; the
plate is positioned just above the lower border of the
mandible
• At least three screw holes are drilled to either side of
the planned mandibular osteotomies and the plate is
temporarily fixed to the bone with bicortical locking
screws
• The positions and angles of the planned osteotomies are precisely drawn on the external surface of
the plate at both osteotomy sites. If the resection includes the angle of the mandible, the angle is
marked on the plate
43. DRAW THE PROFILE OF THE REQUIRED BONY
RECONSTRUCTION ON STIFF PAPER
There are two profiles to consider i.e. one
viewed from above and the other viewed from
anterolaterally
Place the plate vertically on a firm sheet of
paper and looking from superiorly, draw an ink
line along the inner aspect of the plate to out-
line the horizontal segment of the mandible up
to the angle of the mandible
Accurately draw the angles of the osteotomies as viewed
from above, using a ruler to outline the segments; the
osteotomies are drawn at 900 to the plate .Avoid
unnecessary osteotomies and bony segments of <1.5cm
• Two to three fibula bone segments are generally required
with a unilateral segmental mandibulectomy, 3-4
following hemimandibulectomy and up to 7 for bilateral
mandibulectomy
44. The segment medial to the angle will have
a 900 angle to the plate at the mandibular
angle as viewed from above, but
approximately a 600 angle on the
anterolateral view
Mark the individual paper segments to
identify and to orientate them. They may be
redrawn on a firmer material such as
sterilised X-ray plates
• By positioning the segments in a straight
line, one can draw V-shaped templates to be
used for V-shaped osteotomies, if preferred
45. • Transfer the paper segments to the fibula to plan
the osteotomies starting at the distal end of the
fibula and using the superior-view templates first
Make scalpel cuts at precise angles on the
lateral surface of the fibula, stripping only
enough periosteum to make the saw cuts
• Hold the fibula with Kocher’s or bone-
holding forceps and make the osteotomies
46. The bony segments may be fixed to the plate
and the mandible reconstruction virtually
completed with the vascular pedicle still
attached to the leg
47. SCENARIOS
The lateral surface of the fibula becomes
the outer surface of the “neo-mandible”
and is the surface to which the
reconstruction plate is applied
• For intraoral soft tissue reconstruction,
the skin paddle needs to lie above the
“neomandible"; yet it lies inferiorly while
the pedicle is still attached to the lower leg.
The bone and flap therefore are flipped
over in a longitudinal axis when the FFF is
transposed to the defect with the lateral
surface of the fibula remaining laterally
48. • For reconstructing extra-oral
or cutaneous defects the skin
paddle needs to be inferolateral
to the “neomandible”
• Combined intra- and extra-oral
defects can be reconstructed
with a single skin paddle which
is deepithelialised between two
skin islands. Depending on the
relative sizes of each area to be
reconstructed, the flap can be
harvested from the ipsilateral or
contralateral lower leg
SCENARIOS
49. Large vessels
Long vascular pedicle
Well vascularised bone
Long length of donor bone (>25cm)
Adequate bone stock
Bony strength permits good screw fixation and solid reconstruction
Bony reconstruction can be shaped with multiple segmental
osteotomies
Stable bicortical osseointegrated dental implant fixation is possible
Thin, pliable overlying skin (usually)
Skin island adequate for most head and neck reconstructions
Very little soft tissue bulk (usually)
Simultaneous cancer resection and harvesting of flap possible due to
distant location of the donor site from head and neck resection
MERITS OF FFF
50. Donor site morbidity: Delayed wound healing and skin graft loss
especially following peroneal tendon exposure; nerve injury;
ankle instability; pseudo-compartment syndrome, and muscle
necrosis
Preoperative vascular problems: Peripheral vascular disease,
venous insufficiency, previous deep vein thrombosis, congenital
absence of lower leg vessels (rarely)
Poor skin quality: Obesity, stasis and ischemia
Previous lower limb trauma: Fractures, vascular injury
