| Description | The aim of the study was document soft tissue vascularization of the lateral heel on cadavers and,therefore , to indirectly demonstrate the importance to perform perfectly precise incisions,in order to prevent ischemic complications. Sections of 8 human lower limb cadavers were performed with Anatomical Institute of Medical Faculty in Brno. The investigators found out that all three arteries,as well as the arterial arch,had standard courses. The course of the arch defines outline of the lateral extensive incision during osteosynthesis in calcaneal fractures,which lies fairly close to the lateral outline of this vascular arcade. Incorrect performance of the incision results, invitability, in serious ischemic complications. |
