Specialist advice 1st presentation: 

Likely with a little undermining it will close primarily. See how the suture line is though when the leg is moved to check it isn’t too tight. If it is just a little tight, place some 2-0 vertical mattress sutures across that part of the wound. If much too tight an advancement flap from caudally on the trunk where there will be plenty of skin could be done.
