dc.description.abstractBackground The anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap is well-described and versatile option for reconstruction of soft tissue defects around foot and ankle. This retrospective review was performed for reconstruction of soft tissue defects around foot with ALT perforator flaps in patients with normal and overweight body mass index (BMI). Methods Between January 2016 and November 2020, ALT flaps were used in 30 patients for foot defects. Results Etiologic factors were trauma (18 patients), diabetic foot ulcer (6 patients), tumor (3 patients), infection (2 patients) and burn contracture (1 patient). Mean body mass index (BMI) value was 24.9 +/- 4.1 (17-30). Mean flap dimension was 145 +/- 86 (40-420) cm(2). Recipient vessels were anterior tibial artery in 17 patients (56%), posterior tibial artery in 12 patients (40%), reversed flow dorsalis pedis artery in 1 patient (3.3%). In 24 patients (80%), 2 vein anastomoses were done. Debulking were applied in two patients (6.6%). Donor area was grafted in four patients (13.3%). Mean flap score was 1.25 +/- 0.5. Mean flap thickness was 10 +/- 2 (7-14) mm. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was 7.75 +/- 1.04 (6-10). The patients were followed up for a mean of 14 +/- 11 (1-30) months. Conclusion We think that ALT flap is still reliable and precious option because it provides ideal soft tissue reconstruction by means of recontouring of foot in nonobese patients.
