The use of muscle flaps for treatment of chronic wounds has become more widespread. The specific use of intrinsic muscle flaps of the foot for treatment of diabetic ulcerations has the potential to provide alternative ways of avoiding amputations. A case report is presented that illustrates the use of the flexor hallucis brevis flap for a chronic ulceration beneath the first metatarsal head. The technique and indications are discussed.
