The paper aims to present the reconstructive surgical approach in the case of a patient with complex soft tissue lesions of the calf. The patient was the victim of a road accident resulting in the fracture of the right tibia for which screw-plate osteosynthesis was performed. The chosen therapeutic solution was represented by covering the soft tissue defects using a complex algorithm that involved the use of a reverse sural flap associated with a medial hemisoleus muscle flap and a split-thickness skin graft. Considering functional recovery and the degree of patient satisfaction, the result of the therapeutic conduct was appreciated as very good. The association of the reverse sural flap with the medial hemisoleus flap can be a solution for solving complex cases with multiple soft tissue defects located in the middle and lower third of the calf.
