    AbstractWearing a compression stocking over a longer period of time can lead to deep skin and soft tissue defects. This article presents a case of a circular necrosis with an exposed tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle and the Achilles tendon. The use of a peroneus brevis muscle flap led to an adequate coverage of the exposed Achilles tendon. Due to the short operating and anesthesia times, this flap is a good option for lower leg reconstruction, particularly in multimorbid patients. This case raises awareness of the importance of adequate patient training before commencing compression therapy.© 2021. The Author(s).
