Abstract

We reconstructed in 24 patients, traumatic tissue loss in the foot with 10 lateral arm flaps and 14 scapular flaps. The mean follow-up was 4 (1-7) years. There was 1 flap loss, and 1 patient was amputated because of septic ankle arthrodesis. Healing wit stable skin and scar was achieved in the remainin patients. Only patients with additional serious skele tal injury had reduced walking ability.
