Abstract
We have successfully applied a reverse flow island flap of extensor digitorum brevis muscle for coverage of tissue defects in the distal portion of the foot dorsum in 2 patients. This flap covered the metatarsophalangeal area well with cadaver limb dissection and seems useful to cover the defect in the distal foot dorsum.
