Wounds of the distal third of the lower leg pose significant challenges for reconstructive surgeons. The paucity of local tissue limits local flap options, favoring the use of free tissue transfer. Additional factors, such as degree of local injury, vascular insult, and co-morbid conditions, often guide surgical decision-making. Regardless of the modality, reconstructive goals remain the same: achievement of stable wound coverage without impeding functionality.
