Dorsalis Pedis Fasciocutaneous Flap



- See: Reconstructive Foot Surgery

    - is used for coverage of distal tibia and ankle;
    - during dissection paratendon is left over the extensor tendon, allowing donor site to do welll, with skin graft;
    - to avoid devascularizing foot, the posterior tibial artery must be intact
