Versatile Use of the Local Muscle Flaps Pedicled by Gastrocnemius and Hemisoleus Muscle with a Longer Reach for Coverage of Lower Extremity Defects
Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to highlight the clinical usefulness of multiple local muscle flaps pedicled on the gastrocnemius and hemisoleus muscles for managing soft-tissue defects of the lower extremity. The technique was applied to defects involving the distal femur and the distal one-third of the tibia, avoiding the need for free flap reconstruction. Methods: From January 2014 to January 2023, multiple local muscle flaps were planned and utilized for the …

Correlation Analysis of Gastrocnemius Tightness and Heel Pain Severity: A Study on Plantar Fasciitis
Abstract: Background: Plantar fasciitis, a common source of heel pain, is frequently linked to tightness in the gastrocnemius (GCN) muscle. This study seeks to examine the relationship between GCN tightness and the severity of heel pain in plantar fasciitis patients over time, investigating the potential role of muscle flexibility in alleviating pain. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 74 patients aged 25–65 diagnosed with P. fasciitis at Santosh Hospital, …
