In the absence of extensive local trauma, edema, or radiation injury, local flaps may be a reasonable option for lower extremity reconstruction. When the defect is large and deep, a muscle flap may be required to obliterate the dead space, but when the defect is limited in its size and complexity, a local fasciocutaneous flap may suffice. These flaps can be elevated and positioned using a number of techniques described in this chapter.
