Anterolateral thigh flap Described by Song 1984 Predominantly a musculocutaneous perforator (60-80%), 20%-40% septal perforator between vastus lateralis and rectus femoris flap is centered in the middle of a line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine to the lateral border of the patella (between rectus femoris and vastus lateralis). circle with a 3-cm radius is centered in the middle of this line. The majority of perforators is in the inferior external quadrant of the circle. 5% will have no identifiable perforator or vessel between VL and RF May be pedicled distally - based on the anastamoses between the descending branch of the LCFA and the lateral superior genicular artery in the knee region. Raise skin island from anterior to posterior to look for any septocutaneous branches first Anatomic preparation of the anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) and the lateral circumflex femoral arterial (LCFA) system. The ascending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (ABLCFA) arises from the transverse branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (TBLCFA). FPA = femoralis profunda artery; LCFV = lateral circumflex femoral vein; MDBLCFA = medial descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery; MBVIM = muscular branch of the vastus intermedius muscle; LDBLCFA = lateral descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery; PV = perforating vessel.
