Case Report and Surgical Technique: Closure with a Filleted Hallux Flap after Transphalengeal Amputation of the Big Toe for Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Foot
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Wound closure for the tissue defect caused by amputation of digit, for a diabetic foot is challenging. We describe a surgical technique and a case report of filleted hallux flap in the management of post amputation defect aosteomyelitic diabetic foot wound. This reproducible technique needs comparatively minimal technical complexity and is a good option in the management of diabetic foot wounds where soft tissue coverage is required.
