Management of heel ulcers in insensate foot by using free prefabricated radial fascial flap - a new flap.

Heel ulcers are common in insensate foot. The management of such ulcers require tissue not only to resurface the skin defect, which is small in most of the cases; but also well vascularised tissue to fill the cavity which results after excision of the ulcer. We have described a new flap prefabricated radial fascial flap, by which both aims are achieved easily.
