[Large surgical flaps in the reconstruction of soft tissues after complicated injuries of the lower leg].
Experiences and results with a so called extended flap transfer including the fascia of the donor leg are discussed. Six patients suffering from complete open fractures of the lower legs underwent this procedure. All patients gained a functional and useful lower extremity. Also late reconstructive operations to cure bony problems did not affect detrimentally the healed flaps.
