AbstractLocal adipofascial turn-over flaps with skin grafts were successfully used to reconstruct complicated skin defects over the dorsum of the foot in 7 patients. The blood supply of the flap comes from perforators in the base and from the surrounding subcutaneous and fascial plexuses. A new concept of base-to-flap area ratio is proposed to predict the survival of the turn-over flaps in addition to the conventional base-to-length ratio. This appears to be a valuable technique for difficult wounds of the dorsum of the foot.
