title: [Pediatric lower extremity reconstruction].
abstract: Lower limb multi-tissular injuries are rare in children but require elaborate surgical care considering the child's growth potential, donor-site morbidity and the psychological consequences for the child and his family. This review outlines the various coverage options, from simple to more complex, developing their principles and their results. Technical features of wound repair of the lower limb in children will be detailed. An efficient and ambitious care can give excellent functional outcomes in children, even when extended, multi-tissue lesions members are involved.
