The authors demonstrate on a clinical case the procedure used to cover an extensive defect of the leg which with regard to the vascularization of the leg and extent of the defect could not be resolved by commonly used procedures. The needed tissue was obtained from a flap from the m. latissimus dorsi transferred to the site of the defect as a free cross flap. Key words: microsurgery, reconstructive.
