title: [Morbidity of the donor site of the dorsalis pedis flap].
abstract: Detailed information on the dorsalis pedis flap donor-site morbidity is still lacking. In a retrospective analysis, wound-healing, cosmesis, mobility, stability, and thermographic studies of the feet were investigated. The results show a high donor-site morbidity of the dorsalis pedis flap. Indications and alternative methods are discussed.
