“…The procedure has a low rate of flap morbidity. 12 Similarly, the tibialis anterior muscle has a type IV pattern, with eight to twelve short segmental branches originating from the anterior tibial artery and having connections at the anteromedial portion of the muscle. The Tibialis anterior flap is harvested by severing the muscle laterally or medially and turning it over the tibia, while retaining some segmental pedicles.…”

Utilizing multiple muscle flaps is a safe and reliable technique to provide stable soft tissue cover for major post-traumatic defects of the lower limbs. A fifty-five-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with a huge crush/degloving injury of the whole anteromedial aspect of the right lower limb with open comminuted fracture of the femur, the tibia, and the fibula. Radiological computerized tomography (CT) study showed displaced comminuted fractures involving the lower shaft of the femur, proximal fibula, and middle third of the shaft of the tibia, with tangential bone loss in the knee joint. The patient underwent multiple sessions of wound and bone debridement with bone fixation which was followed by multiple reconstructive surgeries. Patient recovered well and was discharged home with the ability to mobilize with Zimmer frame and knee brace support.

“…It is used to cover the abdominal wall, the inguinal zone, and the distal third of the thigh as a pedicled flap or as a reconstructive flap. [11][12][13] The Sartorius muscle is supplied with blood via various branches of the femoral artery.…”
