Abstract

A 22-year-old male presented with crush injury of right foot with multiple metatarsal fractures and soft tissue defect over dorsum of foot with loss of extensor tendons to lateral four toes [Figure 1]a. Free gracilis muscle flap was planned for this patient. Intra-operatively it was decided to harvest the full length of gracilis tendon [Figure 1]b as a graft for reconstruction of extensor digitorum tendons [Figure 1]c of the foot.
