Abstract
|
|
|
|
Coverage of traumatic soft-tissue defects around the knee is a challenging problem for reconstructive surgeons though many reconstructive options are available. We planned to use a pedicled reverse-flow anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap using the distal branch of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) for pedicle length extension in a patient with the ALT perforator branch originating from the proximal portion of the descending branch of LCFA. We present the successful use of a pedicled reverse-flow ALT flap to cover a soft tissue defect around the knee.
