Objective  To describe and demonstrate the outcomes of the modified Monteiro (1991) technique for lower limb reconstruction with a fasciocutaneous flap of the distal pedicle in a series of 15 cases. Method  We present the technique and outcomes from a series of 15 cases of the modified technique using a fasciocutaneous flap of the distal pedicle to repair the lower third of the leg and the foot. Results  Outcomes were satisfactory since these flaps provided good cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue coverage in cases with bone exposure and skin loss. The donor area was closed 3 days after surgery with a partial skin graft to provide better graft viability. Conclusion  The fasciocutaneous flap of the distal pedicle proved to be a good option for reconstruction of the middle and lower thirds of the leg, offering good bone coverage.
