title: Calf augmentation with supraperiostic solid prosthesis associated with fasciotomies.
abstract: This article describes, for the first time, the supraperiostic technique used for aesthetic purposes to remedy hemiatrophy, genu valgum, poliomyelitis sequela, and thin legs. For genu valgum and thin legs, a solid prosthesis was used, whereas for severe hemiatrophy a double light prosthesis was used as a tissue expansor, with excellent reports. The advantages of this technique are delineated further in this article.
