Abstract
Mean time from injury to flap coverage was 72 hours. The mean size of bone defects was 4-7,6 cm. All flaps were Antero Lateral Tight flaps, and the fracture sites did not have any evidence of infection. None of the patients was a smoker. A solid bone union was reached, and full wearing was in a mean of 11 (4-20) weeks after the injury. The lower limb was saved in 100% of the cases.
Despite the goods results, further studies applied on a large number of patients are needed to confirm authors theory, however, we can consider the fascial ALT flap as a valid help for bone healing in 3B-C open tibial fractures.
