  • Title: Technique of foot lengthening and shaping with free vascularized iliac osteocutaneous flap.
    Author: Chuang DC, Chen HC, Wei FC.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1992 Sep; 90(3):492-6. PubMed ID: 1513897.
    Abstract:
    The iliac osteocutaneous flap has been used widely to replace bony defects of the mandible and the extremities. We report a further application of this flap in foot reconstruction. The iliac osteocutaneous flap proved to be of value to augment both soft tissue and bone in a transmetatarsally amputated foot. This resulted in satisfactory function and an appealing cosmetic result, allowing the patient to wear normal shoes. Flap design and secondary contouring procedures are described for the success of this reconstruction.
