    Journal: Zhonghua Zheng Xing Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2005 Mar; 21(2):101-3. PubMed ID: 16011193.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore a new method to reconstruct the defect of the distal foot. METHODS: A distally based dorsum pedis island flap pedicled with the first dorsal metatarsal artery was designed and transferred to the defect of the distal foot. RESULTS: Five patients were treated with this flap, which ranged from 2 cm x 4 cm to 6 cm x 7 cm in size. Four flaps survived completely, one flap had marginal necrosis and healed after conservative therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The reverse first dorsal metatarsal artery flap, with good blood circulation and easy manipulation, is a good option for the defects of the distal foot.
