✦ Synopsis

After discussing the conventional techniques available for covering skin defects in the leg with associated complex orthopaedic problems the value of the free flap is empahsised. The technique is discussed briefly and six cases are presented. The advantages of this method are outlined and the improvement in healing afforded by the extra blood supply in cases where there is infection and exposure of bone or plate is stressed. Where large complicated skin defects can be predicted, early co-operation between orthopaedic and plastic surgeons is advised.

For optimal reconstruction of large defects after tumor surgery of the head and neck, composite flaps may be necessary. We describe the design of microsurgically reanastomosed composite skin flaps, using porous polyethylene or titanium implants as a "back side" in an animal model. The epigastric ski
