Article Main Content

The distally based sural flap often poses the problem of venous suffering that can lead to necrosis. We present a reconstruction of a loss of substance of the ankle in a 6 years old child, using a distal pedicle sural flap, made reliable by a racket like flap method, which reduces the risk of vascular complications and led to good integration of the flap, with a good functional result. Nevertheless, the aesthetic sequelae remain significant.
