简要总结
Selecting the right technique for lower limb soft tissue reconstruction is a therapeutic challenge. Despite having several reconstruction options, it's important to choose a technique that is effective and with the least possible donor site morbidity for the patient.
Objective: demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of the medial tab flap in soft tissue reconstruction on the leg, compared to conventional flaps.
Materials and methods: Cohort study matched with Propensity Score Matching (PSM) by age. 64 patients with soft tissue defects were selected and followed up to one year postoperatively. Outcome variables: surgical time in minutes, healing, healing time in days, complications.

Differences in surgical and healing time between medial tab flaps and conventional flaps
时间窗: January 2019 - December 2022
This information was taken from he Sculapio software clinical records, the surgical time was measured in minutes from the moment of the incision to the clousure of the surgical planes, and the healing time was measured in days from the immediate postoperative period until the wound epithelization
