Abstract:
The authors describe an unusual procedure for closure of a large skin defect of the lower limb exposing the tibia. Due to the severity of the vascular and cutaneous lesions, a greater omentum free flap was used with micro-anastomosis onto the contra-lateral leg: heeling was satisfactory after release of the flap.
