Abstract

The coverage of soft tissue deficit of the heel, continues to represent a great surgical challenge due to the unique features in this area, developed to withstand large axial and shear loads. The coverage of the heel wounds is considered a priority through an adequate and lasting surgical option that will be the result of a decrease in the morbidity and mortality of the patient.
