Figure 1 Foot of the 2-year-old patient following meningococcal septicaemia. Note the preservation of the heel pad and the metatarsophalangeal area, suggesting the possibility of distal reconstruction. British Journal of Plastic Surgery 2003 56, 55-57DOI: (10.1016/S0007-1226(03)00005-5)
Figure 2 Bone scan performed preoperatively. The arrows indicate an avascular portion of the distal tibia, which makes distal reconstruction of the foot unrealistic. British Journal of Plastic Surgery 2003 56, 55-57DOI: (10.1016/S0007-1226(03)00005-5)
