Abstract
Reconstruction of a calcaneal wound in an obese elderly diabetic was accomplished with a Type I venous fasciocutaneous flap based on the great saphenous vein. This unique reconstruction has several advantages including ease of dissection and preservation of arterial inflow into the distal foot.
