Article abstract: Introduction & Objective: Soft tissue coverspecially in lower extremity and leg is a challenag for all reconstructive surgeons. Many methods and flaps have been introduced and used in this area. In this study we discussed about some unusual flaps that we used in our cases in 15 khordad hospital.
Materials & Methods: In this study according to ourresults in our cases, the leg divides into three subarea. We used Distal & lateral thigh flap in proximal third, free gracilis flap for the middle third and Medial plantar flap andmedial pedis flap for lower third defect.
Results: Our results suggest that these less common flaps have comparable results VS common flaps, and can be used as first step for leg reconstruction.
Conclusions: In some cases, this study showed that the desired flops have received less attention; their results are comparable to the more common flops in terms of performance and appearance. This study emphasizes that the common methods should not necessarily be recognized as the best method and the best decision should be made for each disease based on the existing conditions.
