The lateral calcaneal artery fasciocutaneous transpositional flap is utilized for coverage in a case presentation of a 6-year-old child with an insensate posterior heel defect. The procedural technique and 32-month follow-up is described. Advocacy of this flap, for this patient, and potential detriments of alternative coverage options are discussed.
