Modification of the island subcutaneous pedicle flap for the reconstruction of defects of the sole of the foot.
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.
