This article reports our experiences treating soft tissue and bone defects in the lower extremity with free flaps. One of the most common causes for lower extremity wounds are high-energy injuries. These kinds of injuries contain soft tissue and bone defects beyond neurovascular complications. The r

## Abstract To investigate new methods that can decrease the duration of bone transport (BT) distraction osteogenesis, we injected composite materials containing recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteinβ2 (BMPβ2) and induced the generation of a callus bridge by rapid segmental transport (4βmm/d
## Abstract From 1982 to 1998, we treated 39 patients with type IIIB and IIIC fractures in the lower extremities by vascularized composite tissue transfers. Thirtyβfour of the lesions affected the lower leg, and 5 the foot and ankle. The peroneal flap was used in 25 cases, the latissimus dorsi musc
