Wound coverage in the Achilles region.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Skin loss over the distal Achilles region regardless of cause presents a problem in reconstruction. A variety of techniques have been employed. These procedures are critically reviewed and the technique which has proven helpful at our institution is discussed. The latter procedure employs a local random pattern rotation flap which has the advantages of simplicity, brief hospitalization, predictability of success, and coverage with sensate skin that is not bulky.
