title: Modification of the island subcutaneous pedicle flap for the reconstruction of defects of the sole of the foot.
abstract: Defects in the metatarsal head region of the sole were successfully reconstructed by a modified island subcutaneous pedicled flap. The technique is simple and easy to perform. This flap can be mobilised farther than the conventional island vertically-supplied subcutaneous pedicled flaps.
