We noted localization and diameter of arteries surgery on cross-sectional planes of either part of the flap. The 79.43% perforators were located in perfusion zone I, 13.48% were Weiglein AH located in zone III, 6.38% were located in zone II, and 0.71% Institute of Anatomy, Medical University Graz, Graz, Austria in zone IV. Significant differences were recorded between prox- [email protected] imal and middle horizontal regions of zones II and III and between medial vertical part of zone III and medial vertical part Dorsal transpedicular screw placement is a common procedure of zone II.
