Abstract
Soft tissue reconstruction of chronic lower extremity wounds with bone infection entails an important challenge in reconstructive surgery. We report our experience using the omentum free flap to provide coverage in two patients suffering chronic osteomyelitis of the lower limbs. After extensive soft tissue and bone debridement, an omentum free flap was performed in both cases, providing dead space obliteration and soft tissue coverage in behalf of its large size and pliability. As a result, the chronic illness was eradicated in both patients, with satisfactory outcomes and infection resolution.
