The square flap method

Abstract

We report a method for increasing the distance between two points on the skin surface by using two triangular flaps and a square flap. The theoretical lengthening is excellent when one of the triangular flaps is right-angled. The method has been used successfully in 40 cases of scar contracture, various clefts and cryptotia.
