Resumen
RODRIGUEZ LORENZO, A. y LIN, C.H.. Tensor fasciae latae perforator free flap as a backup procedure for an anterolateral thigh flap. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.2, pp.129-134. ISSN 1989-2055.
Anterolateral thigh flap is one of the most popular flaps used for reconstruction of a wide variety of defects. A difficult vascular pattern can be found in 2% of the cases in this flap which makes neccessary to shift to an alternative reconstructive option through a decision that it is usually made intraoperatively. In the current study we report a case in which this situation was successfully resolved by shifting an anterolateral thigh flap, based on a small perforator with a long intramuscular course, to a Tensor Fasciae Latae perforator flap.
