Reconstruction of the Lower Extremity Using Free Flaps
BACKGROUND The aim of lower-extremity reconstruction has focused on wound coverage and functional recovery. However, there are limitations in the use of a local flap in cases of extensive defects of the lower-extremities. Therefore, free flap is a useful option in lower-extremity reconstruction. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 49 patients (52 cases) who underwent lower-extremit...
متن کاملReconstruction of the Lower Extremity with Cross-Leg Free Flaps
Lower limb defectsmaybe present due tovarious causes, such as infections, vascular diseases, tumor resections, and crush or avulsion injuries. If a defect in the lower extremity cannot be reconstructed with a skin graft, the choice of defect reconstruction will favor local flaps and free tissue transfers.1–5 In appropriate cases, skin graft and local flaps can be well tolerated by both patients...

متن کاملReconstruction of soft tissue and bone defects in lower extremity with free flaps.
This article reports our experiences treating soft tissue and bone defects in the lower extremity with free flaps. One of the most common causes for lower extremity wounds are high-energy injuries. These kinds of injuries contain soft tissue and bone defects beyond neurovascular complications. The rate of infection and nonunion is very high in these injuries. Between 1988 and 1996, we applied 3...
متن کاملPerforator Flaps for Reconstruction of Lower Limb Defects
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg remains challenging. Anatomical constraints limit the local options available for complex defects especially lower third of leg. Local flaps based on perforator vessels are raising interest in reconstructive surgery of the limbs. We present our experience with perforator flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue def...
