    COVID-19 pandemia began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. A total of 1 878 489 people were infected and 119 044 people were lost because of the disease and its complications by 15 April. Severe morbidity and mortality complications are mostly seen in elderly and patients having comorbidities. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of severe complications of diabetes mellitus and it may require urgent surgical interventions. In this paper, we aimed to create a management algorithm to prevent the unexpected complications that may occur in the patients and health care workers during the evaluation of COVID-19 in DFU patients who require urgent surgical intervention. We advise the use of thorax computerised tomography for preoperative screening in all DFU patients with severe signs of infection and especially those requiring urgent surgery for both the detection of the possible undiagnosed COVID-19 in the patient for the need for close follow-up and protection of the surgical and anaesthesiology team.

    Double-Layer Reconstruction of the Achilles- Tendon Using a Modified Lindholm-s Technique and Vascularized Fascia Lata

    Loss of the Achilles- tendon with overlying soft tissue and skin defects remains a complex reconstructive challenge. Herein we present our experience using a free composite anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with vascularized fascia lata and a modified Lindholm-s technique to repair the Achilles- tendon. A 37-year-old man suffered from tertiary Achilles- tendon rupture. For reconstruction, the free composite ALT flap with vascularized fascia lata was used to wrap Achilles- tendon. A modified Lindholm-s technique was used to cover overlying soft tissue defects. The patient was followed up for 12 months. No wound healing problems were reported, and the patient was able to walk and return to his daily ambulating activities without any support after 5 months postoperatively. This technique may be useful to achieve satisfactory outcomes in patients with ruptured Achilles- tendons following tertiary repair.
