SUMMARY

Heel resurfacing by cross thigh Tensor Facia Lata myocutaneous flap successfully performed in three cases of extensive soft tissue defects has been pre rented.

It's an excellent procedure for extensive defects of heel where local myocutaneous flaps from sole may fall short or where the posterior tibial vessels are damaged. It is also a good alternative for heel reconstruction where microsurgical facilities for free flap transfer are not available.
