Abstract:
A case of aesthetic calf augmentation by a microsurgical free deepithelialized VRAM-flap is reported. As a result of poliomyelitis infection in childhood and atrophy of the m. gastrocnemius medialis sinister, the contour of the left calf was deformed. The reconstruction by autologous material was performed by use of the free VRAM-flap. The indications, advantages, and disadvantages of this method compared to calf augmentation by silicon prostheses are discussed.
