Name of journal: Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global openAbstract: Free tissue transfer to the proximal leg and knee requires appropriate recipient vessel selection. The popliteal vessels have historically been unpopular choices, due to their remote location often necessitating vein grafts, and need for prone positioning. In this report, we describe a lateral approach to the above-knee popliteal vessels, which was utilized for 2 cases of free tissue transfer to the lower extremity. Neither prone positioning nor vein grafts were needed. The lateral approach to the above-knee popliteal vessels and their branches is a viable option for the otherwise recipient vessel-depleted lower extremity.All authors: Akbari C, Evans KF, Rudolph M, Sinkin JCFiscal year: FY2016Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2017-05-24
