A reliable foot flap, based on the first web-space, effectively resurfaces defects in the distal foot. This surgical technique utilizes specific arterial blood supply for successful reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Foot and ankle surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Distal foot defects pose reconstructive challenges.
  • Limited reliable flap options exist for the metatarsophalangeal joint area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a reliable flap for distal foot reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the utility of a dorsum foot flap for defects overlying the metatarsophalangeal joints.

Main Methods:

  • A flap is raised from the dorsum of the foot, with its base distally on the first web-space.
  • The flap's vascular supply is derived from branches of the dorsal and plantar metatarsal arteries and their communicating branches.

Main Results:

  • The described flap is reliable and does not exhibit contracture.

  • This flap is effective for resurfacing defects in the distal foot, particularly over the metatarsophalangeal joints.

    • Conclusions:

    • The dorsum foot flap is a valuable and reliable option for reconstructing distal foot defects.
    • This technique offers a dependable solution for challenging anatomical locations in foot surgery.
