Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of successful complex surgical management of a 62-year-old patient with chronic post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis. A two-stage surgical treatment was aimed to sanitize a chronic purulent focus in the tibia lower third and to perform a complex reconstructive surgery aimed to correct bone and soft tissue defects. The reconstructive stage of the discussed complex surgical treatment consisted in combined plasty: a cavity in the bone was filled with bone grafts obtained from the iliac crest; and a skin and soft tissue defect was corrected with an islet sural musculocutaneous flap on the distal feeding pedicle. As a result, the surgeons could effectively correct tibia and soft tissues defects with good functional and cosmetic results.
