title: Heel reconstruction.
abstract: From 1987 through 1990 we used the compound flap formed by the lateral leg flap, the fibula, and its surrounding soft tissues, pedicled on the distal peroneal vessels, to reconstruct heel and calcaneus defect in two patients. Both were successful and functionally good.
