Posttraumatic soft tissue and bone defects can pose problems for the surgeon. Autogenous bone from the iliac crest may be used to fill bone defects. To achieve bone healing, a well vascularized recipient site for the graft is important. Local muscle flaps or distant microvascular flaps improve vascularity by introducing a fresh blood supply. Cellular and humoral antibodies are more effective and allow quicker revascularisation of the transplanted graft. 49 soft tissue defects were treated by local muscle flaps. In 14 cases the soleus, in 28 the gastrocnemius, in three the tibialis anterior, in two the abductor hallucis, and in two the gracilis muscle was transposed. 38 cases had posttraumatic osteitis, in eight the defect was merely a soft tissue defect and in three due to tumour excision. In 24 patients a combination of soft tissue repair and cancellous bone grafting was performed. Four flaps failed because of total or partial necrosis. In all cases full weight bearing on the leg with good soft tissue cover was achieved.
