| Abstract: | A lateral arm free flap including vascularized triceps tendon was transferred to reconstruct the tibialis anterior tendon and skin defects over the anterior distal third of the left cruris of a patient who was injured by gunshot. Four months after surgery, the patient walked and ran well, and dorsiflexed his ankle joint actively to 10°. Considering cosmetic appearance, it was obvious that the flap suited the recipient area perfectly. |
