Reconstruction of Lateral Forefoot Using Reversed Medial Plantar Flap with Free Anterolateral Thigh Flap – Corrected Proof

Abstract: Skin defects of the heel have frequently been reconstructed using the medial plantar flap; however, forefoot coverage has remained a challenge, because the alternatives for flap coverage have been very limited. We describe a case of malignant melanoma on the lateral forefoot that was radically removed and reconstructed successfully with a distally based medial plantar flap, together with a free anterolateral thigh flap.
