Abstract

This article reports 4 cross - leg free composite tissue flaps for repairing the severe composite tissue defects in lower leg without suitable adjacent recipient vasculature for microvascular anastomosis. These flaps are safe and effective alternative in lower extremity reconstruction. In the absence of appropriate recipient vessels cross-leg free flaps may provide successful repair. Cross - leg flaps are a good choice for reconstructing traumatized lower extremities, especially when free flaps cannot be used. The objective of this study was to introduce a method for repairing large soft-tissue defects on the lower extremity
