The Role of the Fascia-Only Anterolateral Thigh Flap in Extremity Reconstruction: The Fascia-Only Anterolateral Thigh Flap

CONCLUSIONS: The fALT-free flap can be successfully used in extremity reconstruction. The ALT fascia has robust perfusion that allows for the harvest of a large flap that can be surfaced with a split thickness skin graft. Its thin pliable tissue provides excellent contour for the hand, distal leg, and foot that does not require future thinning, optimizing the cosmetic and functional result.PMID:38527348 | DOI:10.1097/SAP.0000000000003878
