    Summary

    This study presents a phased leg flap rotation technique for treating severe leg injuries. The method involves preparing the flap, applying it to the defect, and grafting the donor site, yielding excellent results in sepsis cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Wound Healing

    Context:

    • Severe leg injuries often involve significant tissue loss.
    • Cutaneo-osseous sepsis presents a complex reconstructive challenge.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in extensive leg defects.

    Purpose:

    • To describe an innovative phased leg flap rotation technique.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in reconstructive surgery.
    • To present clinical outcomes for patients with leg substance loss due to sepsis.

    Summary:

    • A multi-stage leg flap rotation procedure is detailed: flap preparation, delayed application to the defect area (2-3 weeks), and subsequent donor site grafting.
    • This technique was successfully applied to five patients with leg substance loss secondary to cutaneo-osseous sepsis.
    • The phased approach allows for optimal flap viability and coverage of complex defects.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates a viable surgical option for challenging leg reconstructions.
    • Offers a potentially superior method for managing defects from cutaneo-osseous sepsis.
    • Highlights the effectiveness of delayed flap transfer in achieving successful wound closure and limb salvage.
