Abstract
A 51-year-old man suffered from skin and soft-tissue defect at the right heel in a crush injury. In a local hospital, a skin grafting surgery was conducted but left a scar contracture, shortening of the Achilles tendon, and poor mobility of the ankle joint. The patient had pain in his heels and soles with limited walking (Figs. 30.1, 30.2, 30.3, and 30.4).
