Abstract
A case is presented in which a single gracilis muscle was split and used for free-tissue coverage of two sites in a patient with bilateral calcaneal fractures and posttraumatic osteomyelitis. Muscle-flap coverage of osteomyelitis and the use of the gracilis muscle for free-tissue transfer are discussed.
