Abstract
The digital fillet flap provides a good option for coverage of forefoot soft tissue deficits. Understanding of the anatomy, coupled with careful patient selection, improves surgical outcomes. Similar to other fasciocutaneous flaps, the surgeon needs to be familiar with delay techniques and proper inset to minimize complications.
