Innervated posterior thigh flap for defects of the sole.
We report the use of an innervated posterior thigh flap to reconstruct the sole of a 6-year-old boy. This modification of the posterior thigh flap produced an aesthetically and functionally normal foot, capable of withstanding the stresses of youth and allowing the wearing of normal footwear, with a minimal donor defect.
