Summary:. The traumatic pathology of the lower limb represents a very complex branch of medicine, which, despite the wide presence of guidelines, aimed at regulating the various therapeutic procedures, and is still greatly influenced by random variables and by the multiple responses to treatments. In this report, we present our experience with a borderline case, where the timing of the trauma and the patient’s characteristics made it difficult to use the most recommended procedures in trauma management.
