    AbstractShotgun injury is a trauma that leads to soft tissue defects, in which important structures such as the tendon and bone are exposed with fractures in the distal lower extremity. Because this region has insufficient soft tissue support, local flap options are highly limited. Although the most suitable options are free or perforator flaps for contemporarily reconstructing that region; owing to such highenergy traumas, the available local flaps are becoming more suitable. Besides having various advantages, bipedicled flaps are commonly used for reconstructing small- and medium-sized lower extremity defects. This study aimed to discuss the use of a delayed bipedicled flap, which has not been previously described in the literature.
