Abstract
Z-plasty is used to lengthen scars and wounds. We describe the use of a modified technique to shorten wounds in ten consecutive patients undergoing acute shortening of a limb as part of an Ilizarov procedure. The modified technique gave good exposure, easy closure of the wound and fewer problems with healing than standard incisions.Entities:
