Abstract:
Free flaps have been successfully used in the repair of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which can reduce amputation rate, maintain normal gait of patients, and improve life quality of patients. However, there are still many challenges in the repair of DFUs with free flaps, and many problems need to be solved. This paper summarizes the selection of patients, preoperative cautions, types of flaps, methods of vascular anastomosis, clinical effects, and existing problems in using free skin flaps for repairing DFUs.
