Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
18 patients treated with medial tab-type fasciocutaneous flaps
Medial tab-type fasciocutaneous flap
The flap can be taken in different ways depending on the defect. Once the base of the flap is identified, the posterior edge of the tibia is taken as reference; marking of the tab is performed considering that the posterior incision is located 5 cm from the posterior edge of the tibia, and the anterior incision is located longitudinally of the medial region of the tibial diaphysis, the length of the incision depends on the base of the flap and the defect's size.
The posterior incision is made first in the skin, subcutaneous cellular tissue until the fascia is identified; the subfascial flap is dissected to avoid injuring perforators, dissection is completed up to the anterior edge of the flap, if needed direct cutaneous perforators are ligated; once the subfascial plane has been identified and dissected, the tab is completed in its proximal or distal part according to the previous surgical planning. Later, the tab is rotated to the anterior region of the tibia to cover the defect.
Control group
46 patients were randomly chosen, through Propensity Score Matching (PSM) the matching was performed with the age variable. The types of flaps considered were: 15 cases with sural flap, 18 with soleus flap, and 13 with a gastrocnemius flap
