[Results of the transplantation of free composite flaps to the foot].

The article gives an analysis of results of transplantation of 62 free composite flaps for closing defects of foot soft tissues in 48 patients. Positive results were obtained in 77.4% of the cases. The taking of free composite flaps on the foot greatly depends on the state of the recipient vessels and availability of the pathogenic microflora in the wound. To lean upon the foot was permitted as late as 7-9 months after operation, i.e. after the recovery of surface sensitivity.
