Abstract

Background: The aim is to present our experience of Limberg and its modified flaps in post firearm injuries (FAI). Subjects and Methods: A series of patients with FAI underwent Limberg and its modified flaps under general anaesthesia over a period of one year from June 2018 to May 2019. Results: All patients were young male aged between twenty-one and twenty-five years and in all patients, Limberg and its modified local flap proved to be better than skin grafts with early return of patient functionality and did not require frequent dressing change. Conclusion: Our series indicates that Limberg and its modified flaps can be safely used to reconstruct post firearm moderate to large wounds.
