Expert consensus on the anatomical characteristics and localization methods of perforators of anterolateral thigh flap(2024 edition)
The anterolateral thigh flap(ALTF),often referred to as a"versatile flap"due to its versatility,is extensively utilized in clinical repair and reconstructive surgery.This surgical flap involves using the anterolateral thigh as the donor site,primarily depending on the perforating branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery(LCFA)for its blood supply.To comprehensively review and summarize the research findings regarding the anatomical characteristics and location of the perforators of the ALTF,the Microsurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association,the Clinical Anatomy Branch of the Chinese Society for Anatomical Sciences,and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Clinical Anatomy have taken the initiative to organize numerous domestic experts specializing in microsurgical repair and reconstruction.These experts convened to deliberate and formulate the"Expert Consensus on the Anatomical Characteristics and Localization Methods of Perforators of the Anterolateral Thigh Flap(2024 Edition)".The consensus aims to further advance the clinical application of the ALTF and to acknowledge the contributions of Chinese scholars to the advancement of ALTF techniques.
