Abstract

We describe a new, versatile bone and soft tissue compound free flap which may be transferred quickly and simply and describe its use in the treatment of compound fracture of the tibia and fibula with non-union due to loss of bone. The iliac crest and overlying soft tissue is transferred to the leg in one stage by microvascular anastomosis of the deep circumflex iliac vessels to vessels in the leg.
