Early Reconstruction Delivered Better Outcomes for Severe Open Fracture of Lower Extremities: A 15-Year Retrospective Study.

Early repair with free flaps performed within two instances of debridement had superior outcomes when compared with delayed reconstruction after multiple debridements, consistent with Godina's findings. We recommended early referral to a higher-level hospital with orthoplastic capabilities after an aggressive and thorough initial debridement carried out by senior surgeons.
