ABSTRACT
The authors report three pediatric cases presenting with tibial osteomyelitis complicated by fracture for which flap coverage was performed in a low-resource setting. Pedicled flap transfers are rarely used for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis in developing countries. However, these procedures are accessible to any orthopedic surgeon and enable satisfactory treatment of bone infection, reduce the duration of care, and enhance the reliability of bone grafts.
