[Preservation of a foot by shortening tibial osteotomy after a circumferential electric burn to the leg].
A patient presented with circumferential loss of skin substance of lower quarter of leg. The patient's advanced age and the poor local conditions could have produced an aleatory result for a flap graft. It was therefore decided to perform a shortening tibial osteotomy as a conservative surgical procedure.
