ABSTRACT
Recurrent plantar ulceration is a common and serious complication occuring consequent to impairment of the tibial nerve in leprosy patients. In spite of many therapies and long therapeutic course, it is extremely difficult to abolish this complication in many cases because of extensive skin and soft tissue cushion loss due to repeated infection. Since the early 70 we have been using microscopic surgical techniques to reconstruct the ulcerated area using eight types of the flaps. In this series of papers we review out experience. Post operatively, the flapes survived in all cases, the long term results have proved satisfactory, and recurrent ulceration occurred in only three patients
