Abstract
The use of a split muscle flap widens the indications of unilateral external fixation in the treatment of type IIIB open tibial fractures with large bone defects. The same frame can be used for early stabilization and for secondary distraction lengthening procedures. The use of a split flap allows an easy, safe, and painless pin migration. The combination of these techniques represents a very safe solution, especially for patients in poor general and vascular condition.
