Complex midfoot defects represent a reconstructive challenge since midfoot plays a key role in standing and gait. We report the case of a 27-year-old patient with a complex midfoot defect due to a high-energy gun shot injury. The defect included the tarsometatarsal complex, all three arches of the foot, and the overlying dorsal skin of the foot. Reconstruction was achieved in a single stage with a free fibular osteocutaneous flap. The fibula was osteotomized into three segments, which were used to reconstruct the bone defects, while the skin paddle of the flap was used for stable soft tissue coverage of the reconstructed bony skeleton. Early and late postoperative periods were uneventful. Bone incorporation was radiographically evident at 12 weeks, and full weight bearing was possible at 6 months postop. Final follow up, at 2 years postop, showed a very good functional and esthetic outcome.
