Abstract
We report 3 cases of foot reconstruction with a distally based posteri or tibial island flap incorporating both muscle and a fasciocutaneous part. The medial half of the soleus muscle which is included in the fl ap is well vascularised and can be used to fill cavities, for example after debridement of chronically infected wounds.
