Figure 2. Exposed hardware and fibular non-union - radial forearm flap with dorsalis pedis skin graftA patient with (A) exposed hardware over a fibula fracture at ankle mortis; (B) after exposure of the dorsalis pedis artery, venae comitants and saphenous vein; (C) showing the vascular anastomosis of a single artery end-side, two venae comitants of the radial artery system to dorsalis pedis and cephalic to saphenous anastomosis; (D) this created a bulky vascular group ultimately covered with a split thickness skin graft. The small 3 cm x 1 cm skin graft donor site was closed primarily
