Objectives: Distal lower leg wounds, regardless of cause, and acute trauma wounds, regardless of site, are diffic ult . Reconstruction of both s itu ations are much more challenging. Interp ola tio n su ral f lap is a good alternative for this type of reconstruction. Methods: Fourteen interpolation sural flap were harvested to reconstruct for distal leg region wounds due to acute trauma. Ten male and four female patients aged from 10 to 59 years old were included this study. Results: All flaps survived. No venous congestion and total flap necrosis was seen. There were 4 complications, and all of them were corrected with short interventions. After second stage, no complication was seen. Concl usi ons: I nterpolation sura l flap modif ication has many adv ant age s includi ng reliability, no venou s congestion, immediate reconstruction without a surgical team. However, it is a-two staged reconstruction and its donor site scarring can be serious.
