Optimizing limb salvage in critical mangled extremities: one-step acute repair with bilateral anterolateral thigh perforator flaps
One-stage bilateral ALT free-flap reconstruction is a safe and feasible approach for complex distal extremity trauma. It provides reliable wound coverage and facilitates timely functional recovery while avoiding the morbidity of staged procedures. Long-term outcomes demonstrate sustained flap viability and functional gains, supporting this approach to avoid staged procedures and improve limb salvage.
