title: [Use of parascapular semi-free flap in the covering of substance loss of the lower third of the leg and foot. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: The authors present the use of semi-free parascapular flap for coverage of defects on the distal part of the leg and the foot. 3 cases illustrate this technic. This is a microsurgical cross-leg flap. The flap is temporarily anastomosed on vessels on the opposite leg when local and free flaps are not suitable on the ipsilateral limb. This procedure needs one or two separating operations. The cross-leg fasciocutaneous flap must be discussed.
