Complex Post-Traumatic Reconstruction of the Lower Limb: A Case Report on Managing Soft Tissue Defects and Deltoid Ligament Damage Using an ALT Flap With Fascia Lata Extension and Fascia Lata Graft

The ALT flap combined with fascia lata graft is a viable option for soft tissue loss and deltoid ligament injury in clinical cases. While the ALT flap offers numerous advantages, including ease of harvest, pedicle length, and versatility, its bulkiness may necessitate revision surgery. However, despite this drawback, the combination of ALT flap and fascia lata demonstrated positive outcomes in our patient, highlighting its effectiveness in providing adequate tissue coverage and repairing the deltoid ligament.

Abstract

The ALT flap combined with fascia lata graft is a viable option for soft tissue loss and deltoid ligament injury in clinical cases. While the ALT flap offers numerous advantages, including ease of harvest, pedicle length, and versatility, its bulkiness may necessitate revision surgery. However, despite this drawback, the combination of ALT flap and fascia lata demonstrated positive outcomes in our patient, highlighting its effectiveness in providing adequate tissue coverage and repairing the deltoid ligament.
