The medial plantar artery: anatomy and implications
in local flaps of the foot

The medial plantar artery (MPA), as a terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery, provides perfusion to the
musculature of the medial compartment of the plantar foot as well as cutaneous branches to the skin. The artery
and its perforators serve as the foundation for several flaps based on various soft tissue components for the
coverage of small defects of the foot. Most noteworthy is the fasciocutaneous flap, which utilizes the skin and the
unique properties of the plantar foot. Understanding the anatomical relationship of the terminal branches of the
MPA, the superficial and deep branches, is necessary in determining the type of tissue and the flap design to be
utilized for reconstruction.
