Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) before Reconstructive Jaw Surgery Using Fibula Free Flap: Retrospective Analysis of Vascular Architecture
TLDR
Conventional CTA for VSP of free fibula flap (FFF) is capable of imaging and distinguishing SCPs and PBs and a more tripartite distribution pattern for SCPs was found.
Evaluation of the lower limb vasculature before free fibula flap transfer. A prospective blinded comparison between magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography
TLDR
The results suggest that MRA is a good alternative to DSA in the preoperative planning of free fibula flap transplantation.
The significance of preoperative vascular mapping of donor- and acceptor vessels in free flap surgery
Om defecten te kunnen sluiten die door een ongeluk of het verwijderen van kanker zijn ontstaan, gebruiken plastisch chirurgen steeds vaker weefseltransplantaties uit een ander lichaamsdeel. Er…
Design of a Reliable Skin Paddle for the Fibula Osteocutaneous Flap: Perforator Anatomy Revisited
TLDR
Using common anatomical landmarks, a reliable skin paddle can be designed with simplicity and confidence over the third quarter of the fibula and the proximal perforator can be useful as a second skin paddle for through-and-through reconstruction.
The effect of peri-operative innovations in free flap reconstruction
Total peroneal artery occlusion during fibula free flap harvesting: salvage using the venous flow-through principle.
TLDR
It is not recommended that the venous flow-through fibula free flap be used as a standard "lifeboat" procedure, because its exact perfusion mechanism remains unclear.

Ankle‐Arm Index versus Angiography for the Preassessment of the Fibula Free Flap
TLDR
A combined ankle‐arm index and pencil Doppler examination is not accurate enough to detect legs or arteries with subclinical peripheral arterial occlusive disease or vascular variation and, hence, is not a sufficient basis on which to develop the surgical plan for a fibula free flap.
Lower ankle/brachial index, as calculated by averaging the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arterial pressures, and association with leg functioning in peripheral arterial disease.
TLDR
The lower ABI, determined by averaging the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arterial pressures in each leg, is most predictive of walking endurance and walking velocity in peripheral arterial disease.

Ankle-Arm Index as a Screening Examination for Fibula Free Tissue Transfer
TLDR
The ankle-arm index (AAI) was determined on a prospective series of 62 patients being considered for fibula free flap transfer and found to be predictive of a high rate of lower leg vascular disease (by color flow Doppler imaging) that would jeopardize the flap or donor extremity.

Factors predicting lower extremity amputations in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population‐based 7‐year follow‐up study
Objectives. The aim of the study was to find factors predicting lower extremity amputation in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus through a 7‐year follow‐up period.
Routine donor leg angiography before vascularized free fibula transplantation is not necessary: a prospective study in 120 clinical cases.
TLDR
It was determined that routine preoperative angiography of the donor leg before fibula transplantation is not justified and does not add relevant new information about donor leg vascularity, provided that the clinical evaluation of the pedal pulses is well conducted.
The Role of Duplex Scanning in Decision Making for Patients with Claudication
TLDR
The results show that the combined use of ABI (as a screening test) and duplex scanning can replace angiography for clinical decision making in nearly 80% of claudicants.

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of duplex imaging, compared with arteriography, in detecting arterial disease distal to the renal arteries.
