In complex traumas of lower limbs it is fundamental the reducing of the time of ischemia to reduce the number of failures in repairing surgery and the percentage of the demolishing of necessity surgery. The experience of the authors is based on 31 complex traumas of lower limbs with distal vascular injuries to Hunter's canal, which were associated to bone, nervous and muscular lesions. In total we are treated 37 vascular injuries by interposition of venous autografts in 37 cases, lateral pacth in one case ant suture T-T in two cases. The protection of the reconstructed vases, in case of a concomitant loss of substance, was entrused to microvascular flaps for 7 times latissimus dorsi, iliac crest and fascio-cutaneous for 5 times posterior reversed with distal baset and for three times antero-lateral, which in three cases of them needed successively a dermoepidermic grafts. The bone injuries, which were treated by external fixation, intramedullary nailing, plate and screws, just in two cases became worse in pseudoarthroses and just in one in osteomyelitis. The reparation of nervous injuries had bad results just in two cases. The percentage of saving of the limb it was about 83.9%.
