Abstract
For nonhealing, noninfected plantar ulcerations of toes, flap coverage can be a viable alternative, providing there is adequate vascular supply to the digit. This article presents an interesting case, wherein the digital ulcer was covered with a flap from the same toe. The flapped area was then covered with a skin graft.
