From 1984 to 1994, 236 different types of traumatic defects of foot were repaired by microsurgical tissue grafting. They included simple cutaneous flap in 187 and composite flap in 49. Among the 236 different tissue flaps, vascularized flap was used in 97 and pedicled flap in 139. The 4 fore-foot and 6 heel defects were repaired by composite skeleted cutaneous grafts with scapula and vascularized febula respectively. After the follow-up from 1 to 10 years, all the grafted tissues were survived and healed well. The functions were satisfactory, and 186 patients had resumed their original works. The key to good function following repair was to maintaion the integrity of foot structures and the sensation of the sole and heel.
