Heel reconstruction with a medial plantar V-Y flap.
BACKGROUND Full-thickness defects to the plantar surface of the foot present a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Skin grafts and a variety of flap procedures have been described to resurface this site, but not all achieve a return to normal foot function. For the plantar surface of the heel, the previously described medial plantar flap can produce successful results. However, this method...

BACKGROUND Although there are many surgical treatments for covering the skin defect of the fore-mid foot, how to reconstruct the weight-bearing region remains a challenge. The weight-bearing region of the sole needs to withstand the pressure and shearing stresses of walking, so the plantar skin is anatomically different from other skins in the areas of texture, thickness, subcutaneous tissue, e...

متن کاملQuality of innervation in sensate medial plantar flaps for heel reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of the heel represents a difficult challenge for surgeons, given the demand for thick, durable skin capable of withstanding both pressure and shear. The authors describe the use of a sensate medial plantar flap for heel reconstruction in three patients and document the long-term retention of sensation compared with the contralateral uninjured heel and corresponding don...
متن کاملReconstruction of lateral forefoot using reversed medial plantar flap with free anterolateral thigh flap.
Skin defects of the heel have frequently been reconstructed using the medial plantar flap; however, forefoot coverage has remained a challenge, because the alternatives for flap coverage have been very limited. We describe a case of malignant melanoma on the lateral forefoot that was radically removed and reconstructed successfully with a distally based medial plantar flap, together with a free...
