"Spare Parts" for Foot Wound Reconstruction: A Report of 2 Cases.

Soft tissue reconstruction of the foot can be a complex task to undertake when presented with challenging wounds. The foot comprises thick, glabrous skin with its own unique soft tissue anatomy that is suited to withstand its necessary functional demands. "Spare parts" reconstruction provides an option for closure of complicated skin wounds encompassing areas of large, unsalvageable defects. This report presents the cases of 2 patients who underwent successful care at our institution. Each patient's approach was individualized based on the etiology and presentation of the wound while any comorbid conditions were taken into consideration. The purpose of these case reports is to highlight 2 examples involving spare parts foot reconstruction of complicated defects, both of which decreased donor morbidity and lessened the degree of amputation.
