Abstract
Coverage of extensive tissue defects is one of the tasks of plastic surgery. For the surgeon there are a series of possibilities differing in safety level and difficulty. With extensively exposed bones, however, there is mostly the indication for free tissue transfer. In the following case a possibility of wound closure of an extensive defect by one single free flap without preconditioning the tissue is demonstrated.Keywords: Defect closure; Free flap; Open fracture; Soft tissue coverage; Tissue transfer
