Abstract
The authors report a series of 9 cases over the period 1981-1992.Debridement was achieved in a single procedure in 44.5% of the cases, in 2 procedures in 33.3%, in more than 2 procedures in 22.2%. The closure of the wound was achieved by secondary sature in 77.8% of the cases and by a muscule flap in 22.2%. The fixation of the fracture was performed by an external fixator in all cases.Primary consolidation was obtained in 44.4% of the cases. A tibiofibular graft was needed in 4 cases.The mean time to consolidation was 23 months.
