Abstract:
The use of pedicular fascio-cutaneous flaps to cover Gustilo III fractures of the leg is based on the vascular anastomotic system of the fascia. This system is provided by aterial branches from the deep muscles in the proximal third of the leg and by direct fascio-cutaneous branches in the distal third. The different fascio-cutaneous flaps are described with particular attention to specific indication in tibial fractures.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
