Abstract
Large defects on the plantar aspect of the foot can be too extensive to permit primary repair by suturing alone. Such defects can be closed through the use of skin flaps. The authors present an overview of skin flaps and suggest a transpositional skin flap as one type of reconstructive treatment for this problem.
