| Popis: | Ulcers often develop on the lateral malleolar area in aged patients and are difficult to heal.We describe a simple surgical method to treat the ulcer. This procedure is as follows:1. Resection of long and short fibular tendons.2. The cortical bone of the lateral malleolus is shaved.3. Split-thickness skin grafting using a scalp skin.4. Immobization of the ankle joint by plaster cast. |
