    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Trauma management

    Background:

    • Management of complex leg injuries with femur fractures requires innovative reconstructive solutions.
    • Avulsion injuries with multiple fractures present significant challenges for wound coverage and limb salvage.

    Observation:

    • A one-stage surgical procedure utilizing an abdominal flap for leg coverage in cases of fractured femur is proposed.
    • This approach is specifically indicated for avulsion injuries involving multiple leg fractures.

    Findings:

    • Experimental work was conducted to validate the proposed surgical concept.
    • The efficacy of the one-stage abdominal flap surgery for leg coverage in complex femur fractures was experimentally demonstrated.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a potential solution for challenging soft tissue defects associated with femur fractures.
    • Further clinical studies may validate the application of this reconstructive method in trauma patients.
