Defects in and around the ankle and foot are difficult to reconstruct and often challenging to a reconstructive surgeon. Our experience with island neuro cutaneous lateral supra malleolar flap appears to be the excellent choice and must be considered for the defects in and around ankle and foot, provided the dimension of the defect is small. In our series four cases, were done between 2017 to 2018, for small defects in around the ankle and foot- following trauma and tumor excision, this flap proved to be a better option than reverse sural flap. It has an advantage of long pedicle, adequate reach up to mid foot, consistent perforator from peroneal artery, ease of dissection in supine position and minimal complications.
