Due to the signs of uncompensated ischemia of the left lower limb at the first stage of treatment the patient underwent emergency left tibial artery thrombectomy, repeated debridement of the left lower leg wound, remounting of the external fixator, and lumbar sympathectomy. The second stage of surgical treatment included free transplantation of a vascularized anterolateral flap of the right thigh. The third stage included staged necrectomies; replacement of the soft tissue defect of the posteromedial surface of the distal lower leg with a sural fasciocutaneous vascularized flap on the distal vascular pedicle from the contralateral tibia; the fourth stage included cutting off the fasciocutaneous cross flap. At the follow-up, 2 years after the end of the treatment the patient complained of persisting swelling of the foot, which occurred during prolonged standing in the upright position and required elastic compression of the ankle joint. The cause of the swelling was impaired lymphatic outflow due to the damage to all venous collaterals in the injury area. She walks with full load on the injured limb without additional support. There is no pain syndrome, foot sensitivity is fully preserved.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion.<italic> </italic></bold>Presented clinical case demonstrates the possibility of successful replacement of an extensive circular defect of the distal lower leg using sequentially free and non-free vascularized tissue complexes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность.</bold> Пострадавшие с открытыми переломами костей голени, сопровождающимися обширными дефектами мягких тканей, относятся к одной из самых сложных категорий пациентов в травматологии.</p> <p><bold>Цель<italic> </italic></bold>— на уникальном клиническом примере показать возможности современной реконструктивной хирургии при лечении тяжелой полиструктурной травмы нижней конечности.</p> <p><bold>Описание случая.<italic> </italic></bold>Пациент 18 лет получил сочетанную травму головы и конечностей в результате падения под движущийся поезд. В связи с наличием признаков некомпенсированной ишемии левой нижней конечности на первом этапе лечения пострадавшему в экстренном порядке были выполнены тромбэктомия из левой большеберцовой артерии, повторная хирургическая обработка раны левой голени, перемонтаж стержневого аппарата, поясничная симпатэктомия. Второй этап хирургического лечения включал свободную пересадку кровоснабжаемого переднелатерального лоскута правого бедра. На третьем этапе – этапные некрэктомии; замещение дефекта мягких тканей заднемедиальной поверхности нижней трети голени несвободным суральным кожно-фасциальным кровоснабжаемым лоскутом на дистальной сосудистой ножке с контралатеральной голени; четвертый этап включал отсечение перекрестного кожно-фасциального лоскута. При контрольном осмотре через 2 года после окончания лечения пациент предъявлял жалобы на сохранение отечности стопы, возникающей при длительном нахождении в вертикальном положении и требующей эластической компрессии голеностопного сустава. Причиной отечности являлось нарушение лимфатического оттока в связи с повреждением в области травмы всех венозных коллатералей. Ходит с полной нагрузкой на травмированную конечность без дополнительных средств опоры. Болевой синдром отсутствует, чувствительность стопы полностью сохранена.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.<italic> </italic></bold>Представленное клиническое наблюдение демонстрирует возможность успешного замещения обширного циркулярного дефекта нижней трети голени с использованием последовательно свободного и несвободного кровоснабжаемых комплексов тканей.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>extensive soft tissue defect</kwd><kwd>free vascularized anterolateral thigh flap</kwd><kwd>flap necrosis</kwd><kwd>non-free sural flap</kwd><kwd>microsurgical transplantation of tissue complexes</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>обширный дефект мягких тканей</kwd><kwd>свободный кровоснабжаемый переднелатеральный лоскут бедра</kwd><kwd>некроз лоскута</kwd><kwd>несвободный суральный лоскут голени</kwd><kwd>микрохирургическая пересадка комплексов тканей</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Хоминец В.В., Щукин А.В., Михайлов С.В., Шакун Д.А., Ендовицкая М.В., Захаров М.В.
