[The clinical application of cross-leg flaps for coverage of bone exposure on the leg]
1Central Hospital of Nang Yang City, Nang Yang 473009, China.
Objective:
To evaluate the cross-leg flap for repairing the soft tissue defect of the leg.
Methods:
Twenty-tree patients with exposure wounds on the leg were selected for the treatment by using different kinds of the cross-leg flaps, including 5 in medial knee skin flap, 12 in gastrocnemius myo-cutaneous flap and 6 in posterior calf fascial skin flap.
Results:
The patients were successfully treated with the complete survival of the flaps. No infection occurred. The results were good with the long-term follow-ups.
Conclusion:
The method of the cross-leg flap is a safe and good way for repairing the soft tissue defects of the leg with the advantages such as color and texture of the transplanted tissue to be matched the recipient well.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
