Popis: Ozbek, Suha S/0000-0002-3351-4150 WOS: 000223523400012 PubMed: 15370810 A 16-year-old girl presented with a contusion of the left calcaneus that was treated by combined free rectus abdominis muscle flap and plantar skin graft. The main advantages of this procedure are that it replaces weight-bearing skin of the heel with histologically similar skin from the instep, and the fibrofatty pad of the heel with muscle; it provides a good cosmetic result in the heel, and the scars of the donor site are well-hidden.
