| Abstract: | Cover of an exposed Achilles tendon is a rare but difficult surgical problem. Two cases are presented in which a free lateral arm fascial flap covered with a split-thickness skin graft was used. The morbidity of the donor site was very low, and the functional result was good. Surgical techniques and results are presented. Received: 30 April 1997 / Accepted: 29 January 1998 |
