We present a case of a muscle flap of both heads of gastrocnemius on a single vascular pedicle for reconstruction of a tibial defect. The flap was based on the medial sural vessels alone. The vascular supply to the lateral head was achieved through the anastomotic vessels along the gastrocnemial raphe.
