New flap surgery aims to heal tough leg and foot wounds
NCT ID NCT07453199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgical technique to cover deep wounds on the lower leg, ankle, heel, or foot. The procedure moves skin and tissue from the outer lower leg to the wound area, using a special blood supply to help it heal. The study will include 30 adults and will measure how well the flap survives and any complications. The goal is to improve wound closure when there isn't enough nearby skin.
