  • Title: Free flap coverage of bilateral frostbite of the feet.
    Author: Classen DA.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 2000 Nov; 106(6):1316-20. PubMed ID: 11083562.
    Abstract:
    The indications, principles of management, and outcomes of free flap transfer for limb salvage in four patients with bilateral frostbite of their feet are presented. A fasciocutaneous flap was used for coverage when the wound involved a single surface of the foot. When multiple surfaces of the foot required free flap coverage, a muscle flap was used because it could more easily improve the shape and contour of the defect. Successful coverage was achieved in all four patients.
