Fig. 2 Schematic illustration of technique used in case 1. Hamstring muscles were retracted inferiorly, exposing vascular shunts. The vastus medialis and part of the rectus femoris are seen débrided. Supracondylar fracture of the femur was treated with external fixation after revascularization with the temporary shunts. Exposure has been obtained through a standard medial incision.
