Reconstruction of the small defects in the distal portion of the foot has always represented a difficult problem. A case of a young man with a deep electric burn of the distal lateral side of the big toe successfully treated with a distally based dorsalis pedis island flap based on the first dorsal metatarsal artery (FDMA) is presented. The donor site area of the dorsum of the foot was grafted, and deambulation was reassumed 3 weeks later. Advantages; limits and anatomical consideration regarding the viability of the flap are also discussed.
