چکیده
An 83-year-old male patient presented with a Marjolin’s ulcer on his lower leg, which developed 60 years after bomb blast injury. The lesion was 24×12-cm2 chronic located circumferentially around the mid-third leg. Considering patient’s age, vessel status, and extent of defect wide excision, included section tibia, reconstruction utilizing bilateral anterolateral thigh free flaps in flow-through pattern under spinal-epidural anesthesia planned. operative time 9 hours, fully recovered without any complications. able to walk orthosis, no evidence recurrence found during 3-year postoperative follow-up period.

Reconstruction of Wide-apart Double Defect Using a Branch-based Chimeric Anterolateral Thigh Flap
SUMMARY Wide-apart double defect in head and neck region is rare and difficult to reconstruct at one time. Double free flaps are normally used for this scenario and often tedious and technically complicated. This study presented a technique using branch-based anterolateral thigh free flap to simultaneously reconstruct the 2 defects separated wide apart. The concept, indications, surgical techni...

متن کاملAnterolateral thigh free flap for simultaneous reconstruction of digital extensor tendon and defect of the dorsal hand: A case report
This paper describes a new technique in the repair of the hand defect with digital extensor tendon injury. The anterolateral thigh flap with the thick femoral fascia has been used in the reconstruction of the composite defect of the dorsal hand, especially the defect of tendon. This technique requires short period of treatment and hence causes less damage to the donor site but shows a better re...
متن کاملReinnervated anterolateral thigh flap for tongue reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Total or near-total glossectomy defects are commonly reconstructed with rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps for coverage. Sensory reinnervation has rarely been performed. METHODS Thirteen consecutive total or near-total glossectomy reconstructions were performed in a 12-month period with anterolateral thigh flaps with (n = 8) or without (n = 5) sensory reinnervation to the lingual ...
