LES LAMBEAUX PLATS HETEROJAMBIERS DANS LA RECONSTRUCTION DES GRANDES PERTES DE SUBSTANCES CUTANEES, MUSCULAIRES ET OSSEUSES DE LA JAMBE. INDICATIONS ACTUELLES, ARTIFICES TECHNIQUES ORIGINAUX

This is a report on a patient who suffered a large skin, muscle and bone defect of the leg following a Volkmann's ischemia. The authors' indications for a flat crossleg flap are explained: extended skin defect at the anterior and inner aspect of the broken tibia or a skin defect associated to a tibial defect making a secondary bone graft necessary. Finally the authors describe an original technique of crossleg flap: this consists in a trapezoidal flap with the large side being the implantation basis.SCOPUS: NotDefined.j
