Abstract
- It is indispensable to cover the skin defect when bone or tendon is exposed. In case of inevitable amputation of an extremity, it is possible to harvest a free flap from the amputed limb for providing coverage of the other wound. This technique allows immediate wound coverage without the morbidity of an additional donor site. We experienced an electrical burn case with inevitahle wrist disarticulation and successfully treated soft tissue defect of ankle using free vascularized flap.
