Popis: Wound closure for the diabetic foot can be challenging and often involves amputation or reconstruction. The authors describe a surgical technique and a case report of lateral lesser toe fillet flap in the management of a diabetic foot wound. The lateral lesser toe fillet flap reconstruction is a reproducible technique that incurs comparatively minimal technical complexity and provides a favorable option in the management of diabetic foot wounds where soft tissue coverage is required.Keywords: diabetes mellitus; diabetic foot; toe fillet flap; amputation(Published: 18 December 2014)Citation: Diabetic Foot & Ankle 2014, 5: 25732 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/dfa.v5.25732
