Transfer of a free flap from an acutely burned donor site.
A deep burn injury of the right upper extremity in a 12-month-old boy was successfully reconstructed with a tensor fascia lata free flap taken from an acutely burned donor thigh, as a healthy donor site was not available elsewhere. The result was satisfactory.
