Combined use of two different fasciocutaneous flaps with distal and proximal pedicles in the repair of lower extremities

Abstract

Reconstruction of extensive middle third defects of the lower leg has always presented problems. Seven patients with large anterior middle third crural defects were included in this study. A combination of two different flaps were used to reconstruct the defects. In all cases, the defects were reconstructed successfully. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.
