✦ Synopsis
Severe tibial fractures may be associated with soft tissue loss, devascularization of cortical bone, and significant morbidity. Local rotational muscle flap coverage is used to obtain coverage of acute open tibial fractures and to treat chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia. The purpose of this study was to determine (a) the longitudinal and cross-sectional regional blood flow characteristics of the canine tibia and (b) whether a muscle flap was superior to
