Open tibial fractures with extensive soft tissue injury and accompanying bone defect are still a challenge for surgeons. Soft tissue injury is often underestimated in clinical practice. In our case report, we present the options for clinical usage of heterologous bone grafting combined with autologous bone stem cells as a therapeutic alternative to calotaxis and free bone flaps.
