Abstract

The reconstruction of the foot and leg are a challenge for surgeons. We present a clinical case of a 32 years patient with an external malleolar ulcer in his left ankle. We treated it with a distally based sural flap. In this article we describe the treatment done, detailing the surgical technique. Thereafter, we describe some relevant concepts founded in the literature. We describe the indications, details of the surgical technique and complications of this surgery.
