Abstract:
Hypertrophic scars along the plantar aspect of the foot can be extremely painful and disabling, especially if located on weight-bearing areas. The authors suggest a rotation skin flap as one form of surgical management for this problem. A brief review of rotational skin flaps is presented along with a case report.
