title: Microvascular reconstruction of soft tissue and bone loss in war wounds.
abstract: Seventy-seven skin and bone defects caused by high velocity missiles have been repaired with various combinations of microvascular free transfer of skin flaps and vascularised bone grafts. We concluded that the free osteoseptocutaneous fibula transfer (1,4) is the best method of reconstruction if a long bone defect is associated with skin loss.
