Abstract

Reconstruction of bilateral, distal lower limb defects presents a major reconstructive challenge. In the patient with a major burn injury, however, the problem of bilateral foot reconstruction is compounded by both the limited availability of normal unscarred donor sites and by the limited availability of recipient vessels. A case is presented where bilateral dorsum of foot defects in a patient with a 50% surface area burn were successfully reconstructed using a single parascapular free flap. The problems presented by this case are discussed.
