[Surgical management in complex trauma of the lower limb with soft tissue defects].

This work is studying the treatment for the complex trauma of the lower limb, followed by soft tissue defects, with bones exposure, that necessitate immediate coverage with adequate tissues. The reconstructive method should be chosen according to the location and soft tissue requirement of the defect (local/regional flap, or free tissue transfer). Aggressive management of acute trauma of the lower limb provides good results. First condition for the intervention success is working together: plastic surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, physiotherapist.
