This report details techniques addressing severe polytrauma injuries, highlighting effective management of bone loss and soft tissue repair.

Successful limb salvage achieved without infection, demonstrating the effectiveness of advanced management techniques.
The use of an Ilizarov apparatus was critical in stabilizing the fractures during treatment of soft tissue injuries.
Negative pressure wound therapy and skin grafting were vital for establishing a functional soft tissue environment.
Innovative approaches, like 'tibialising' the fibula, enhanced bone healing and resulted in a nearly normal gait.

Nierenberg et al. (2025) studied this question.
