Heel reconstruction with an iliac osteocutaneous free flap: 10-year follow-up.

Explosive war wounds create composite and devastating injuries mainly by high-energy transfer to the tissue. We present an early reconstruction of explosive heel wound with an iliac osteocutaneous free flap with late follow-up result.
