    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of small defects in the distal portion of the foot has always been a difficult problem. A case involving a young man with a deep electric burn of the distal lateral side of the big toe, successfully treated with a distally based dorsalis pedis fasciocutaneous flap, is presented. The donor site area of the dorsum of the foot was grafted, and deambulation was reassumed three weeks later. Advantages, limits and anatomical consideration regarding the viability of the flap are also discussed. Les petites anomalies de la face distale du pied ont toujours posé un défi de reconstruction. Est présenté le cas d’un jeune garçon ayant subi une brûlure électrique profonde de la face distale de la partie latérale du gros orteil, traité avec succès au moyen d’un lambeau fasciocutané de la face distale de la partie dorsale du pied. Trois semaines après une greffe de la région du dos du pied provenant d’un donneur, le patient a pu reprendre la déambulation. Les avantages, les limites et les considérations anatomiques relatives à la viabilité du lambeau sont également abordés.
