Drawing depicting a propeller flap. The distance of A (shortest distance from the perforator to the defect) in a propeller flap. A flap rotation of 180° is possible if there is available tissue in the linear axis (A) connecting the defect (D) (yellow area) and the emerging point of the perforator vessel (P) (red circle) on the other side of the perforator, compared with the position of the defect (B) (blue area)
