This represents an open tibia fracture (left lower extremity) with concomitant large anterior tissue avulsion. Fortunately, the vasculature to the lower leg remained intact. The orthopedic injury was repaired with rigid internal fixation and the missing overlying tissue required reconstruction (in this case a free flap was utilized).
