the management of problems in lower extremity salvage using shortening lengthening technique and free flaps a case report
2019
High-energy
trauma leads to the increasing number of patients with severe leg injuries,
often resulting in severe comminuted bone fractures with large area of soft
tissue defects and vascular, nerve and muscle injuries. In the 1950s, Ilizarov
technique was applied to the treatment of large tibial defect with bone
transplantation and bone lengthening techniques. In recent years, shortening-lengthening
technique was also used in the second stage. One case of complex lower
extremity injury was also treated by shortening-lengthening technique combined
with free flap transplantation. The problems in the process were managed
properly. The clinical effect was good and the patients were satisfied. The
report is as follows.
