Summary
Since 1979, the authors have performed five types of microsurgical flap (including myocutaneous flap) graft to treat 40 patients with disorders of leg and foot. In the treatment of inflammatory diseases, good results were obtained owing to the following important points: 1) the operation was performed with inflammation well controlled or localized, particularly in chronic osteomyelitis; 2) indication for each type of microsurgical flap was made carefully; 3) isolation of flap was carried out gently, bleedings were thoroughly stopped by ligation.
