  • Title: Reverse flow instep island flap.
    Author: Bhandari PS, Sobti C.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1999 Jun; 103(7):1986-9. PubMed ID: 10359265.
    Abstract:
    The retrogradely perfused medial plantar artery flap was used in a leprosy patient with a plantar ulcer over the heads of the second and third metatarsals. The flap is based on the anastomosis of the medial plantar artery with the branch of the first plantar metatarsal artery, which supplies the medial side of the great toe. This design provides reconstruction with like local tissues while not distorting the weight-bearing pattern of the foot.
