This report describes a case of a 10-year-old boy who received a distally based, pedicled medial plantar artery flap to cover a defect on the distal lateral side of his right foot. The defect resulted from amniotic constriction. The flap served as defect coverage and was kept viable solely by the distal medial plantar vessels. Use of this particular kind of flap proves advantageous in that it provides good protection in the weight-bearing area of the foot, while causing only a minor donor site defect.
