title: [Application of free anterolateral thigh flap for the treatment of burn scar carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the therapeutic effect of free anterolateral thigh flap for the treatment of burn scar carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  From Jun. 2005 to Feb. 2013, 10 cases with burn scar carcinoma at craniofacial area and extremities underwent radical excision and transposition of free anterolateral thigh flaps for the leaving wounds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The flaps in 10 cases survived completely and primarily without any complications. The operation time was 7 hours in average. The patients were followed up for 5 months to 2 years (1 year, in average) without no recurrence and no functional morbidity in donor sites. The cosmetic results were satisfactory in all the cases, even with hair growth in 6 cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The free anterolateral thigh flap is suitable for the treatment of burn scar carcinoma.
