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.
