Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To introduce the clinical application of venous nutrition flap pedicled by medial plantar artery of the hallux on the medical aspect of the foot.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Based on the anastomoses between the medial plantar artery of the hallux and the nutritional vein, the flap was designed with the perforator of medial plantar artery adjacent to the first metatarsal bone as the rotation point. The flap axis was along the vein at the medial aspect of the foot between rotation point and medial malleolus.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>5 cases were treated with primary healing and complete survival flaps. The patients were followed up for 1-12 months with good match of texture and color.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The venous nutrition flap pedicled by medial plantar artery of the hallux on the medical aspect of the foot can be transpositioned to repair the defect at forefoot.</p>
