Abstract:
Simultaneous reconstruction of both feet with a single vascularized latissimus dorsi free flap is reported. The authors describe the repair of extensive dorsal and plantar defects, as well as of heel lesions secondary to osteitis of the calcanei. The latissimus dorsi free flap serves well in combining the classic cross-leg procedure with microsurgical techniques.
