D. Lenen et al., PRESERVATION OF A FOOT BY SHORTENING TIBI AL OSTEOTOMY AFTER A CIRCUMFERENTIAL ELECTRICAL BURN TO LEG, Journal de chirurgie, 130(6-7), 1993, pp. 289-291
A patient presented with circumferential loss of skin substance of low
er quarter of leg. The patient's advanced age and the poor local condi
tions could have produced an aleatory result for a flap graft. It was
therefore decided to perform a shortening tibial osteotomy as a conser
vative surgical procedure.
