The use of the photoplethysmograph to monitor the training of a cross-leg free flap prior to division

The cross-leg free flap is an important, although rarely used, option in the reconstruction of lower limb trauma. We report the use of photoplethysmography in the assessment of such a flap's training and the time of pedicle division.
