Abstract
A distally based fasciocutaneous flap for heel coverage is reported. Its blood supply depends on distal septocutaneous perforators interconnected with the suprafascial plexus. A "turn-down" transposition and distal deepithelialization were utilized to avoid kinking of the pedicle. After a 1-year follow-up, it has provided stable coverage with normal function.
