One hundred and thirty-seven patients had reconstructive surgery of injured feet with microsurgical technique in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Yonsei University College of Medicine from 1983 to 1997. The results were as follows: 1. There were 89 cases in men and 48 cases in women, who together had a mean age of 21.3 years. 2. The causes of injuries were 97 cases from traffic accidents, 15 cases from burns, 11 cases from machinery injury, 5 cases from infection, 2 cases from falling, 2 cases from glass injury, 2 cases from snake bite, 2 cases from explosive injury, and 1 case from ulceration. 3. There were 47 cases with inguinal flaps, 36 cases with scapular flaps, 36 cases with parascapular flaps, 7 cases with deltoid flaps, 4 cases with lateral thigh flaps, 3 cases with latissimus dorsi flaps, 2 cases with tensor fascia lata flaps, and 2 cases with dorsalis pedis flaps. 4. One hundred and twenty-seven(92.7%) cases were successful in reconstructive surgery with microsurgical technique. 5. Functionally, the thick skin flap or sensory flap has less ulceration and good protective sensation. We considered that the function and cosmetic appearance were excellent after reconstructive surgery of the injured feet with microsurgical reconstructive technique and that the thick skin flap or sensory flap has less ulceration and good protective sensation.
