We present a case study of a 26-year-old male who sustained severe vascular and neurogenic injury during derotational osteotomy of the tibia. Directly postoperatively he complained of a drop foot, but 3 days later presented with an ischemic compartment syndrome of the anterior and lateral compartments. After debridement the osteotomy and metalware were exposed and the patient had a drop foot. Here we report how we salvaged his lower limb with a free functional latissimus dorsi muscle transfer that reconstructed soft tissues and restored ankle dorsiflexion.
