The lateral lesser toe fillet flap for diabetic foot soft tissue closure: surgical technique and case report

Abstract: Wound closure for the diabetic foot can be challenging and often involves amputation or reconstruction. The authors describe a surgical technique and a case report of lateral lesser toe fillet flap in the management of a diabetic foot wound. The lateral lesser toe fillet flap reconstruction is a reproducible technique that incurs comparatively minimal technical complexity and provides a favorable option in the management of diabetic foot wounds where soft tissue coverage is required.

“…Chung et al described a lateral lesser toe llet ap for the diabetic similar to toe lleting technique with a similar intention to reduce the overall wound burden without the concurrent use of a TNPWT. However, the time taken for complete wound healing in their case report took 6-months 11 . Even with patients with severe arterial disease requiring endovascular intervention, our time to complete wound healing was shorter.…”

“…In 2014, Chung et al 11 presented the use of a toe llet ap for the coverage of the MTPJ adjacent to the ray amputation wound that had been exposed after the initial debridement. However, their patients were as per Nather and Wong's criteria 10 .…”

“…La intervención quirúrgica se llevó a cabo bajo anestesia local con mepivacaína 2 % (Mepivacaína ® , BBraun, España) y sin realización de isquemia. Se realizó una técnica de "fillet toe" del segundo dedo, que sufría artritis séptica en la articulación metatarsofalángica y en la articulación interfalángica proximal, para realizar la cobertura del defecto en el tercer espacio 25 . Esta técnica de fillet toe consiste en la utilización lateral del colgajo de un dedo menor del pie, en el que se elimi nan todas las falanges, en este caso afectadas por osteomielitis, y se conserva la piel y el tejido celular subcutáneo conservando su vascularización, y se usa como pedículo o colgajo libre microvascular para la reconstrucción de un defecto adyacente.…”

Es una técnica reproducible que incurre en una complejidad técnica comparativamente mínima y proporciona una opción favorable en el tratamiento de las heridas del pie diabético donde se requiere cobertura de tejidos blandos 25 . En el primer dedo se realizó amputación de syme 26 que consistió en eliminar la matriz ungueal de forma completa junto a la mitad distal de la falange distal del dedo afectado, realizando un colgajo plantar y suturándolo en un solo plano a dorsal.…”
