Abstract

Exposure of the tibia, preferably the upper three-fifths, can be easily covered by splitting the adjacent anterior tibial muscle longitudinally from behind and transferring the medial part of the muscle to cover the medial surface of the tibia. The function of this important muscle is preserved.
