May guide leg flap planning with anterior compartment caution; leaves open human translation from animal angiosome mapping.
The study maps the angiosomes of the leg, demonstrating that most tissues have redundant blood supply from multiple angiosomes, except for the anterior compartment muscles, which has implications for flap design and ischemic syndromes.
Taylor et al. (1998) studied this question.
