title: [Repair of lower extremity traumatic soft tissue defect with ALT polyfoliate perforator flap].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Application of anterior lateral thigh flap (ALT) polyfoliate perforator flap for lower extremity soft tissue defect.
  
  
  METHODS
  From 2009 to 2011, anteral thigh perforator flap free transplantation were applied for traumatic soft tissue deformity of body surface.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were 21 cases in this clinical application and the necrosis in distal part of two flaps were treated by free grafting. The other 19 flaps survived completely and the contour and function were satisfied.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  ALT polyfoliate perforator flap could repair the complicated body surface soft tissue defect economically.
