Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical result of the free functioning ramified anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap in clinical repair of the forearm soft tissue defects and function reconstruction.Methods Twelve patients with forearm skin and muscle defects was reconstructed with the free functioning ramified anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap transplantation. Results All flaps survived, with one stage healing of the wound. The patients were followed up for 6-36 months, which showed that the muscle strength was at 3-5 grade. Conclusion Free functioning ramified anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap is an ideal myocutaneous flap to cover the forearm wound and reconstruct the function.
