Anterolateral Thigh and Vascularized-tensor Fascia Lata Flaps for Long-gap Achilles Tendon Reconstruction
Summary:. We demonstrated our surgical technique of 8-cm segmental loss Achilles tendon reconstruction and repair of posterior heel skin and soft tissue defects with composite anterolateral thigh and 4-layer folding vascularized-tensor fasciae latae flaps of a 15-year-old adolescent boy’s post-traum...

| description | Summary:. We demonstrated our surgical technique of 8-cm segmental loss Achilles tendon reconstruction and repair of posterior heel skin and soft tissue defects with composite anterolateral thigh and 4-layer folding vascularized-tensor fasciae latae flaps of a 15-year-old adolescent boy’s post-traumatic injury and infection after primary repair. This technique highlights the ease of harvesting the flap, short operative time, and facilitation of the strong and sustainable motion of the Achilles tendon after reconstruction. |
