  Background: Timely vascularized soft-tissue coverage is critical in compound limb injuries to prevent infection, promote fracture healing, and reduce amputation risk. While microsurgical free tissue transfer is well established, its availability remains limited in many trauma settings. This study evaluates long-term outcomes of orthoplastic reconstruction using pedicled and fasciocutaneous flaps performed by an orthopaedic surgeon in a resource-constrained environment.
