Abstract
Use of the adipofascial turn-over flap has been extended to cover such complex wounds of the extremities as defects over exposed joints and fracture sites. Experience with 10 consecutive cases and long-term follow-up confirmed that this flap is easy to plan and quick to raise, with minimum donor site morbidity and high success rate.
