title: Combined free flap and local muscle flap for lower extremity salvage.
abstract: Reconstruction of extensive compound lower-extremity injuries may require the use of local flaps or free-tissue transfer. When either method alone is inadequate for reconstruction of two isolated defects on the same lower extremity, a combined approach may be utilized to reconstruct a functional lower extremity.
