This study presents a novel technique for soft tissue reconstruction in ankle defects using a split anterolateral (ALT) thigh flap. This efficient method allows simultaneous repair of bilateral ankle injuries from a single donor site.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Plastic Surgery
- Trauma Reconstruction
Background:
- Reconstructing soft tissue in bilateral ankle defects from lower limb trauma presents significant challenges.
- The application of split anterolateral (ALT) thigh flaps for lower limb reconstruction is not widely established.
