ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the efficacy of surgical method with the soleus muscle flap for repairing the soft-tissue defects in the middle and distal thirds of the leg, combined with open tibial fracture and/or osteomyelitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From May 2007 to December 2011, 8 cases with soft-tissue defects in the middle and distal thirds of the leg were treated with soleus muscle flaps, including 5 cases with chronic osteomyelitis and 3 cases with open tibial fracture and acute osteomyelitis. The defects size ranged from 8 cm x 6 cm to 12 cm x 10 cm. The surface of muscle flaps was covered by split-thickness skin graft. The defects at the donor site were closed directly.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the muscle flaps and skin grafts survived completely and fracture was healed. The patients were followed up for 2 to 54 months with satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The soleus muscle flap is an effective and feasible method for reconstruction of the soft-tissue defects in the middle and distal thirds of the leg, combined with open tibial fracture and/or osteomyelitis. The morbidity at donor sites is also minor.</p>
