title: [Lower limb repair. Bipedicled fasciocutaneous flap. A new technical approach].
abstract: The authors present an anatomical study of a fasciocutaneous flap of the lower limb and its clinical application. Sixteen patients with loss of cutaneous substance and exposure of the leg bone were operated on. The bipedicled fasciocutaneous flap presented by the authors allows the coverage of large areas of the lower limb in the initial stage of treatment. Preservation of the superficial venous system allows for a better vascularization of the flap and, thus, for the use of larger flaps.
