An anterior skin flap soon suffers from pressure against the sharpedge of the sawn tibia. A posterior skin flap draws the edges of the wound asunder byits weight. One lateral flap with a semi-circular incision on the opposite side(Langenbeck) is a very convenient form of amputation for the uppertwo thirds of the leg. It is only necessary to recollect, that the baseof the skin flap must be somewhat smaller than half the circumference Tal XXVIII.
