Abstract

A vascularised osteocutaneous flap from the forearm was transferred to a crushed forefoot after a motorbike accident. Rapid bone formation and good coverage of the wound led to normal walking within nine months. This method can overcome the difficult problem of metatarsal bone and soft tissue loss and confers considerable benefit on the patient.
