Comparison of free anterolateral thigh flaps and free muscle‐musculocutaneous flaps in soft tissue reconstruction of lower extremity

The objective of this study was to compare the free muscle‐musculocutaneous flaps and free perforator skin flaps used for soft tissue reconstruction of the lower extremities.
