TREATMENT OF CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS
OF THE LOWER EXTREMITY USING
FREE FLAP TRANSFER Tvrdek M., Nejedlý A., Kletenský J., Kufa R. Department of Plastic Surgery, Third Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic |

Summary: Between 1987 and 1995, 25 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the lower extremity were treated by transfer of
muscle or musculocutaneous flap. The subsequent follow-up extended over more than three years. Five patients
developed a recurrence. Two were reoperated on and healed completely; in two an amputation had to be per-
formed; and in one the infection persists. Recurrence ocurred mainly in patients in whom the bone cavity could
not be filled completely with muscle.
