Total Posterior Leg Open Wound Management With Free Anterolateral Thigh Flap: Case and Literature Review

Soft tissue coverage of the exposed Achilles tendon is a unique reconstructive challenge. In this report, we describe the management of a large posterior leg wound with exposed Achilles tendon using a free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap. A careful review of alternative reconstructive options is included, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. A 32-year-old white man suffered ...

Leg Length Discrepancy after Total Hip Arthroplasty Using the Modified Anterolateral Approach for Stable Hip

BACKGROUND: The modified Dall approach is a modified anterolateral approach with osteotomy of the anterior part of the greater trochanter. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the adequacy of the modified Dall approach by measuring leg length discrepancy and evaluating offset discrepancy using postoperative radiographs. METHODS: Of 103 cases of total hip arthroplasty (THA), 22 patients (mean age, 6...

Functional Outcomes After the Surgical Management of Isolated Anterolateral Leg Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome

Background Failure rates of up to 20% have been reported after fasciotomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). There is some evidence that postoperative failure and complication rates are higher in the posterior compartments of the lower leg than the anterolateral compartments. Isolated compartment surgery may put patients at risk of requiring revision surgery because of the risk...
