An 8-year-old boy was shot in his right foot and ankle, which resulted in soft tissue lesions of the medial malleolus and lateral calcaneus, fracture of the medial malleolus, and partial loss of the calcaneus. We designed a distally based sural flap and a posterior tibial perforator flap for reconstruction of soft tissue defects at the lateral aspect of the calcaneus and the medial malleolus, respectively. Both flaps survived successfully, and the boy had a normal gait during follow-up.
