Post Debridement Soft Tissue Defects, Post Traumatic Soft Tissue Defects That Could be Reached by Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap, Post Tumor Excision Soft Tissue Defects
Conditions
Brief summary
a prospective case series study for evaluation of the reliability and versatility of pedicled anterolateral thigh flap in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects as regards flap survival and complications, donor site morbidity and aesthetic outcome.
Interventions
PROCEDUREsurgical reconstruction of a soft tissue defects by a pedicled flap
harvesting of a fasciocutaneous flap from the anterolateral aspect of thigh based on a perforators from the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery to reconstruct a neighboring soft tissue defect.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flap Survival Rate | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks | The percentage of flaps that survive completely without necrosis or partial loss. Complications will be graded (e.g., total flap loss, partial necrosis, or marginal necrosis). Unit: Percentage. Measurement Tool: ruler/(Mesure). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of Motion in Reconstructed Area | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks | Assessment of the range of motion in the reconstructed area. Unit: Degrees. Measurement Tool: Goniometer. |
| Strength in Reconstructed Area | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks | Evaluation of muscle strength in the reconstructed area. Unit: Newton (N). Measurement Tool: Dynamometer. |
