Abstract
The dorsal foot skin island flap pedicled on the plantar vasculature as a reconstructive entity is described. Two successful cases of resurfacing of the distal end of the foot with a dorsal foot island flap pedicled on the proximal communicating vessels and the distal communicating vessels, respectively, are reported, and this type of reconstructive procedure is proposed as an addition to existing procedures for reconstructing the distal end of the foot.
