Delayed successful free fibula flap for treatment of complex arm gunshot wound--a case report.

More than 25% of unintentional gunshot injuries and more than 15% of intentional gunshot injuries involve extremities. In these patients, early acute multidisciplinary treatment is essential and critical to achieve a satisfactory mobility and composite wounds repair. We hereby report a logistic delayed successful treatment of a complex arm gunshot wound with a free fibula flap. The significance of this case report is related to the necessity of emphasising the organised and multidisciplinary approach required to cure these patients in the proper way from a surgical and medical point of view.
