A composite flap that includes a vascularised segment of bone together with an overlying skin paddle, supplied by a single shared vascular pedicle. The skin component is typically supplied by fasciocutaneous perforators arising from the bone's source artery. Standard examples include the free fibula osteocutaneous flap and the iliac crest (DCIA) osteocutaneous flap.
