摘      要：Purpose： To evaluate the role of immediate and definitive management of Gustilo type Ⅲ A/B tibia fractures with intramedullary nailing and fasciocutaneous flap. Methods： From August 2010 to July 2012, 22 patients with Gustilo Grade Ⅲ A/B tibia fractures were managed with a single stage treatment of ipsilateral fasciocutaneous flap ＆ reamed intramedullary nailing and were included in the study. The severity of the injury was calculated with Ganga Hospital injury severity score. Results： The mean age of patients was 41 years and the follow-up time ranged from six months to one year. Among the 22 patients, 73% were type Ⅲ B fractures with upper leg involved in 55% of them. The time interval from injury to completion of surgery was 8 14 h. The incidence of bone infection requiring secondary procedure was 9%; the major and minor soft tissue complication rate was 9% and 14% respectively. The limb salvage rate was 100%. Conclusion： Multidisciplinary management of severe lower limb trauma is important and provides good outcomes, lntramedullary nailing and immediate flap fixation can achieve early bone union and good soft tissue coverage, leading to good outcomes in patient with Grade Ⅲ A ＆ B tibia fractures.
