The authors report their experience using the dorsalis pedis island flap, described by MacCraw, for coverage of soft tissue defects of the heel, and both lateral and medial areas of ankle. The operative technique is recalled and six cases are presented. The authors analyse the several indications of the island flap. Its disadvantages are emphasized.
