Abstract
Severe soft tissue trauma involving the thigh is a complex surgical
challenge, particularly in remote or resource-limited settings. We present the
case of a 32-year-old male with a large anterior thigh avulsion injury
following a road traffic accident. The injury involved significant tissue loss
and foreign material. Management included multiple debridements, foreign body
removal, secondary suturing, and eventual split-thickness skin grafting.
Post-operative recovery was uneventful, with long-term follow-up showing stable
healing. This report underscores the importance of early intervention, serial
debridement, and a stepwise reconstructive approach in the management of
complex extremity trauma.
