SummaryFree latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap transfer is one of the surgical methods for treating the difficult problem of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia. We evaluated the viability of the flap and the influence on the bone in a patient at 16 years after surgery by using X-ray films, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
