Fractures of the proximal tibia are high energy fractures. According to available literature, 3-4% of all fractures heal problematically with non-union or osteomyelitis. Usage of locking compression plating system as well as usage of hybrid fixator is associated with the risk of compartment syndrome, local infection and subsequent malunion, osteomyelitis or non-union. We present a case of 30-year-old male suffering from posttraumatic non-union. The medial femoral condyle flap was selected due to its favourable properties providing a highly vascularised osteogenic tissue in combination with anterolateral thigh flap and Corlett loop. Our case report describes a reconstruction of a long weight-bearing bone. Despite the amount of anastomoses and usage of vein graft, the selected method of reconstruction seems to be safe and with a long-lasting benefit for the patient.
