- W2972202268 abstract "Background Complex soft-tissue defects of upper extremities still have a high rate of amputation, as the reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects is always difficult even with the largest conventional free flap. The anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap is one of the most popular procedures used for the coverage of complex soft-tissue defects of extremities. However, problems associated with donor-site morbidity and inability to repair complex soft-tissue defects in a one-stage procedure persist. The purpose of this study was to present a novel design of using chain-linked bilateral ALTP flap and its various designs for customized reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects in the hands and forearms. Methods From June 2009 to June 2017, we retrospectively analyzed 15 patients with complex soft-tissue defects in the hands and forearms. All patients in this series underwent extremity reconstruction using the chain-linked bilateral ALTP flaps. Three different types of chain-linked bilateral ALTP flaps were created in this study based on wound characteristics and the maximum available skin paddle size at all donor sites. Results The chain-linked bilateral ALTP flaps were successfully harvested for the reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects in the hands and forearms. Among them, ten cases were repaired with chain-linked bipaddle ALTP flaps, two cases were treated with chain-linked tripaddle ALTP flaps, and the remaining three cases were used with chain-linked multi-lobed ALTP chimeric flaps. The sizes of the skin paddles ranged from 11 cm × 7 cm to 42 cm × 8 cm. The areas of the total flaps ranged from 245 cm2 to 650 cm2 (mean 419.6 cm2). Only one case required re-exploration because of the venous congestion. The donor sites were closed directly. The mean follow-up time was 16.4 months. Most cases showed satisfactory contour. Conclusion The chain-linked bilateral ALTP flap is a reliable option for one-stage reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects in the hands and forearms with limited donor-site morbidity. It also provides various flap designs, which allow for more individualized treatment approaches.
