  Background: Chronic tibial osteomyelitis unresponsive to initial surgical and antimicrobial interventions remains a challenging clinical problem. This study evaluates the role of local muscle pedicle flaps as a salvage reconstructive strategy in patients with failed primary treatments including debridement, Ilizarov external fixation, antibiotic-loaded spacers (Stimulan beads), and masquerade procedures.
