Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical application of the expanded cross-leg flap for repairing instep soft tissue defects with bone exposure.
Methods: The expanded cross-leg flap was used to repair instep defects in 10 patients. After flap transferring the donor site was closed directly without skin grafting.
Results: Satisfactory results were achieved in all the cases. The flaps survived well. The donor site had less scar and kept good appearance.
Conclusions: The expanded cross-leg flap is a better choice for repairing the soft tissue defects of the instep. It is simple and easy with less trauma to the donor site. After the operation, both the recipient and the donor areas had good appearance.

Traditionally, inertial measurement units- (IMU) based human joint angle estimation requires a priori knowledge about sensor alignment or specific calibration motions. Furthermore, magnetometer measurements can become unreliable indoors. Without magnetometers, however, IMUs lack a heading reference, which leads to unobservability issues.

Unlabelled: Since the advent of microsurgery, and expanding expertise in the field, extensive traumatic wounds of leg have been managed successfully with free tissue transfer. Various patient-related factors may preclude the use of free flaps even in units with available expertise and infrastructure. It is in such situations that the "cross-leg flap" comes into play.

Defects of the heel represent a difficult reconstructive problem. Previously described methods have not always been ideal especially for the posterior heel. The weight-bearing functional requirements of the heel tissue over the calcaneus are a sensitive, well padded, durable cover.

Free vascularized tissue transfer and muscle and musculocutaneous flaps have expanded the surgical options substantially. During the past 5 years, we have been involved in the closure of 60 complex lower-extremity wounds.
