Since the report of the first cases of vascularized free fibula graft for treatment of open fracture of the tibia and fibula in 1975, there have been many other reports of the use of vascularized free osteocutaneous fibula flaps for reconstruction of the mandible or lower leg. Usually, these flaps have a single pedicle composed of the peroneal artery, to supply the fibula with septocutaneous or musculocutaneous branches arising from the peroneal artery to supply the lateral skin of the leg. Although some authors have reported variant perforators, there have been no reports of the peroneal artery arising from the anterior tibial artery and perforator arising from the posterior tibial artery. This is the first report of a variant of the peroneal artery and perforator using a vascularized free osteocutaneous fibula flap.
