Rotational pedicle grafting.
The rotational pedicle graft, as adapted for use on the plantar aspect of the foot, is a valuable tool for repairing painful defects of the weight-bearing surface. The procedure described here lends itself particularly well to repair of defects beneath the second and third metatarsophalangeal joints, although it also has application on the heel and other weight-bearing surfaces.
