ABSTRACT
Soft tissue loss is a frequent accompaniment to open fractures of the tibia and chronic osteomyelitis associated with pseudarthrosis. In Mozambique most of these problems follow war injuries. There are many methods of closing these soft tissue defects; but the best way is the use of a flap. This paper describes the use of a one stage de-epithelialised cutaneous turnover flap in three patients. It is applicable to many circumstances and is quick and easy to perform
