Tissue defects that result from diabetic foot infections are often complex and necessitate reconstructive soft-tissue surgery to achieve closure. Intrinsic muscle flaps of the foot require attention to major vascular pedicles and are useful for closing smaller ulcerations. Microvascular free flaps are beneficial for large defects and provide long-term survivability. Perioperative planning is an important aspect of caring for diabetic patients requiring reconstructive surgery. These techniques are valuable tools for use in efforts to preserve a functional limb in this patient population.
