Abstract
A case of distal-third reconstruction of a leg with bone exposure is r eported, A rectus abdominis muscle free nap, based on the inferior epi gastric artery, was anastomosed to the distal stump of the anterior ti bial artery with reversed flow. This technique is suggested as an opti on for microvascular reconstruction in the distal third of the leg. An atomic and physiologic details are discussed.
