Abstract
lower limb reconstruction remains a big concern as The lower extremity has been recognized for slow wound healing and as an inadequate source of the flap for reconstruction . Great advancements have been made over the past century for reconstructing traumatic and non-traumatic defects in leg and foot. The reconstructive methods ranged from leaving the wound to heal by secondary intention up to free flap.
Large defects are commonly reconstructed with free fasciocutaneous flaps or free muscle flaps with skin grafts. The result of a reconstructive operation is mainly due to the vascular component's stability, which is crucial in ensuring the flap survival and proper function. The lower extremity has also been recognized for slow wound healing and as an inadequate source of the flap for reconstruction. In this study, we will present our experience in sohag university hospital In free Antero Lateral Thigh flap used in leg and foot reconstruction as regarding flap outcome, complications.
