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 degrees, Considering cosmetic appearance, it was obvious that the flap suited the recipient area perfectly.
