Aim

Simultaneous application of Ilizarov frames and free muscle flaps to treat osteomyelitis or infected non-unions is currently not standard practice in the UK, in part related to logistical issues, surgical duration and challenging access for microvascular anastomosis. We present the outcomes for 56 such patients.

Methods

Retrospective single centre consecutive series between 2005–2017. We recorded comorbidities, Cierny-Mader and Weber-Cech classification, the Ilizarov method used, flap and anastomosis used, follow-up duration, time to union and complications.
