Re-innovation of split lateral gastrocnemius muscle flap for complicated proximal tibia open fracture: Case report
The split lateral gastrocnemius muscle flap is an effective modification of the flap, resulting in greater surface area coverage, less bulk and shape distortion, and reliable blood supply. Furthermore, it is easy to harvest and apply, deferring the need for step-curve microsurgical procedures.
