Abstract
A new method to cover a deep defect of the medial ankle with exposed bone, tendon, or metal implant is presented. In two cases a combined medialis pedis and abductor hallucis muscle flap, each based on separate vessels but linked by the musculocutaneous perforators, was used successfully as an island transposition flap. Among other available options, this flap is, in our opinion, an ideal solution that has superior advantages.
