[The inner flap of the thigh: an alternative about the cover of the ankle and the foot].
The authors relate a case of cutaneous cover of the ankle and the right foot on a leg with precarious vascularization by the inner flap of the thigh with a serious burnt person the left leg amputated. The flap, which has been autonomized first before being set apart, got a well development and allowed to cover the ankle and the foot. It is a flap which deserve to be used and can count among the cover means of the ankle and the foot and even to constitute an alternative to the use of classical flaps (sural and supramalleolar flaps) in case of vascular risk.
