Reconstruction of a defect of the weightbearing forefoot region remains a challenging problem owing to the limited alternatives available. The digital artery flap can be used for coverage of defects in the weightbearing forefoot. The present study reports our results using a digital artery flap for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the weightbearing forefoot in 8 patients. The mean patient age was 35 ± 11.3 years. The etiology of the soft tissue defects included 4 (50%) traumatic events, 2 (25%) dysfunctional scars, and 2 (25%) neuropathic ulcerations. The mean postoperative follow-up duration was 22 ± 11.1 months (range 12 months to 4 years). All 8 flaps survived successfully. The complications included 1 case of delayed healing of a neuropathic ulceration. The digital artery flap is a good alternative for soft tissue defects of the weightbearing forefoot. The surgical techniques for harvesting the flaps are easy to manage.
