Osteocutaneous flap from the big toe for repair of osteomyelitis of the second toe.
The free vascularized osteocutaneous flap from the big toe has been offered as a solution for the reconstruction of the distal phalanx of the fingers. As another important application of this flap, it is recommended that the flap pedicled with the plantar vessels can easily cover the defect involving the bone of the second toe.
