Abstract
This article discusses a study of 36 patients with chronic osteomyelitis that had local or free muscle flaps. Reconstruction of chronic osteomyelitis requires infection control and assessment of soft tissue and bone. In patients with osteomyelitis with an ununited fracture or nonunion, stabilization of the fracture is needed.
