Name of journal: Annals of plastic surgeryAbstract: Vascularized osteocutaneous free flaps have seen increasing use in foot and ankle surgery for the repair of bony defects secondary to chronic nonunion, osteomyelitis, and fractures. One example is the Medial Femoral Condyle (MFC) Flap. The utility of the MFC flap for the repair of a bony defect in a diabetic patient, however, has yet to be explored. We report the long-term results of a case describing the use of an MFC flap to reconstruct an osseous defect resulting from first metatarsophalangeal joint resection in a diabetic patient.All authors: Abbate OA, DeFazio MV, Elmarsafi T, Evans KK, Higgins JP, Janhofer DE, Lakhiani C, Zarick CSFiscal year: FY2019FY2019Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2019-01-08
