This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of local muscle or myocutaneous flap transfer for emergent repair of Gustilo IIIB open tibiofibular fractures. This retrospective case series study included patients with Gustilo IIIB open tibiofibular fractures treated by local muscle or myocutaneous flap transfer in Weifang People’s Hospital between May 2016 and April 2021. Fifteenpatients (11 males aged 19–72 years) were included. The follow-up ranged from 8 to 24 months. The ranges of bone healing time and wound healing time were 6–17 months and 1–3 weeks, respectively. The length of hospital stay was 26 days (11–50 days). All patients reported acceptable functional recovery and satisfactory leg appearance, with Johner-Wruhs scores of excellent, good, and fair in 10, four, and one patients, respectively. The excellent-good rate was 93.3%. The complications included one case of infection and one case of nonunion. In conclusion, local muscle or myocutaneous flap transfer for emergent repair of Gustilo IIIB open tibiofibular fractures may be useful in providing adequate soft tissue coverage and fracture healing with low complication and infection rates.
