Abstract: A child who suffered a complex and exceptionally large soft tissue defects of both lower extremities and feet was referred in January, 2017. A debulking deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEPF) was used to cover the defect in right shank. The defects in left shank and foot were reconstructed by latissimus dorsi flap and bilateral debulking anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) . Two years after operation, the appearance and texture of both lower limbs were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally. There were slightly noticeable scars left in both thighs and the back.
