Abstract: Skin substance loss in the leg refers to damage to the skin and soft tissue, sometimes associated with bone injuries. The seriousness lies in the superficial location of the bone, increasing the risk of infection, which necessitates early treatment. Numerous flap techniques are available to reduce treatment duration or improve aesthetics; the choice depends on both the patient and the surgeon. We conducted a retrospective study over five years (January 2017 – December 2021), involving 36 patients. The goal was to evaluate and compare the most commonly used methods for covering the lower third of the leg and to share the experience of the Plastic Surgery Department at Med VI University Hospital in Marrakech.
