[Value of microvascular, free flap transplantation in treatment of open tibial fracture].
Between 1986 and 1994, 71 cases of open fractures of the lower leg were treated by transplantation of a free, microvascular flap. Of these, 68 flaps were successful and the complication rate was low. Because of better vascularity subsequent bone reconstruction was shown to be more effective.
