Abstract
A one-stage reconstruction of a complex defect of the dorsum of the fo ot was undertaken with an osteotendofasciocutaneous lateral arm free f lap in a 21 year old man. A vascularised strip of the triceps tendon w ith the adjacent part of the olecranon was used to reconstruct a missi ng tibialis anterior tendon with its insertion into the medial cuneifo rm bone. Recovery was uneventful and he was discharged from hospital a fter two weeks.
