Results Twelve flaps were survived and one case suffered from necrosis. Survived flaps were healed by first intension. All the patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, good functional recovery was observed. Conclusion Combined skin flap is a good way to repair severe tissue defects of ankle and foot with its safety, simplicity and good functional restoration.
