Reconstructive flap surgery
Closing complex foot defects with rotational or free-flap reconstruction after infection control and revascularization.
Reconstructive flap surgery moves healthy tissue to cover a complex foot defect once the wound bed is ready — typically after infection is controlled and circulation is adequate.
How it works
- Rotational flaps move nearby tissue to cover midfoot or plantar defects
- Free-flap reconstruction is used for larger defects in selected cases
- The reconstruction is coordinated with vascular and infectious-disease teams
Recovery
Flap monitoring, offloading, and gradual return to weight-bearing follow surgery.
