Abstract
A new method to cover a deep defect of the medial ankle with exposed b one, tendon, or metal implant is presented. In two cases a combined me dialis pedis and abductor hallucis muscle flap, each based on separate vessels but linked by the musculocutaneous perforators, was used succ essfully as an island transposition flap. Among other available option s, this flap is, in our opinion, an ideal solution that has superior a dvantages.
