title: Resurfacing of the donor defect with a second toe plantar flag flap after free first toe pulp flap.
abstract: A second toe plantar flap was attached to the donor site after a free first toe pulp flap. Twenty-two days postoperatively, the wound had almost healed. Although the whole defect is impossible to cover with this flap, partial resurfacing will reduce the healing time and morbidity from recurrent ulceration.
