title: [Primary reconstruction of skin avulsion injury on both feet].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the therapeutic effect of primary reconstruction of skin avulsion injury with bilateral anterolateral thigh flaps combined with thorax umbilicus flap or latissimus dorsi flap.
  
  
  METHODS
  From June 2005 to Aug. 2011, 4 cases with skin avulsion injury on both feet were treated. The bilateral anterolateral thigh flaps, including with anterolateral thigh cutaneous nerves, were transferred to cover the feet plantar. The thorax umbilicus flap or latissimus dorsi flap were used to cover the feet dorsum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the skin avulsion injury were reconstructed primarily. All the flaps survived completely with good cosmetic and functional results. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years with good sensory recovery (two point discrimination: 14-18 mm).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The skin avulsion injury on both feet can be primarily reconstructed by bilateral anterolateral thigh flaps combined with thorax umbilicus flap or latissimus dorsi flap.
