Annals of Plastic Surgery
|February 1, 1987
Abstract:
The patient described in this article presented with chronic open infected medial and lateral malleolar wounds resulting from a compound tripod fracture of the right tibia and fibula. Primary wound coverage was achieved through the application of a split free rectus abdominis muscle transfer. This represents an exciting new application of an already versatile and popular free muscle transfer.
