RESUMO
Traumatic injuries of the lower extremity vary from minimal lacerations to limb threatening open fractures. Complications and morbidity associated with these injuries can be significant. With appropriate treatment from simple wound closure to complex free tissue transfer morbidity can be minimized and the threat of limb loss can be averted. We review the present treatment of traumatic soft tissue injuries of the lower extremity.
