Abstrak

Introduction: Preservation of forefoot length is crucial for gait mechanics and long-term function. However, soft-tissue defects in this region often lead to bone shortening or amputation. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap offers a thin and reliable reconstructive option with minimal donor-site morbidity. Case Report: We present three patients with complex forefoot soft tissue loss in whom SCIP flaps were used for reconstruction. In all cases, the flap provided stable coverage, preserved bone length, and allowed functional recovery. Conclusion: The SCIP flap is a valuable option in forefoot reconstruction, enabling preservation of viable structures while maintaining good functional and esthetic outcomes.
