Soft tissue coverage of lower extremity defects: pearls and pitfalls in the chronic wound population

Figure 7. Abductor hallucis (AH) local flap. (A) Initial presentation of a medial ankle wound; depth is down to bone. (B) Wound after debridement. (C) After dissection of the AH muscle, it was released from its insertion point distally; arrow points to the dominant vascular pedicle (medial plantar artery). (D) Flap inset. (E) Results at follow-up. The skin graft and donor site incisions were well-healed. The muscle flap provided adequate bulk over the bony heel defect.
