Free Fibular Osteocutaneous Flap Combined With Simultaneous Tendon Reconstruction for Midfoot Restoration After Myoepithelial Carcinoma Resection.

Myoepithelial carcinomas of soft tissue are rare, and most are malignant. The optimal treatment is surgical excision. The arches of the foot are a composite structure responsible for weight bearing and pressure distribution, so it is a vast challenge in reconstruction. We report a case of reconstruction of the midfoot with a free fibular bone flap and tendon graft. We review the literature to compare various options in foot reconstructions and sort out the outcomes of different bone flaps. The free fibula osteocutaneous flap is the superior choice for midfoot reconstruction owing to its sufficient length, strength, flexible skin paddles, easy-to-withstand osteotomy, and simultaneous tendon graft harvesting.
