10.30699/jambs.27.123.1 Achieving adequate coverage of soft tissue defects located on the lower third of the legs and feet is challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Fasciocutaneous flaps can be used to meet this challenge. Two common fasciocutaneous flaps used in this context are the reverse sural flap and lateral supramalleolar flap (LSMF). Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are relatively unfamiliar with the second flap. In this article, we introduce a patient with an extensive soft-tissue defect on the dorsum and lateral side of her foot and ankle.
