Abstract
Introduction Reconstruction of distal leg region remained a difficult task. Free flaps had long been considered as a gold standard for these regions. However, due to various limitations of the free flap, a local fasciocutaneous flap could be considered as a good alternative.

The study also outlined the donor-site morbidity and the technical details of the surgical procedure.
