Because of their complexity, war injuries inflicted by a blast mechanism often require tailoring of treatment to attain a more individualized solution. We report two cases of bilateral, severely mangled lower limbs with open tibial fractures and crush injuries to the feet. In each case, one limb had to be amputated below the knee, but the other limb was saved by immediate stabilization in a tubular external fixation frame crossing the knee; the frame was later replaced by a hybrid ring fixation frame with a freely moving knee. Such incidences are rare, and the particular management detailed here has not previously been reported in the literature.
