Abstract:

Background: Defects of the foot and ankle area pose a significant challenge for both patients and surgeons. While the primary objective of microvascular free flap reconstructions of lower leg defects is limb preservation, there should be an effort to obtain the best functional and aesthetic results possible and to restore the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term post-operative functional outcome, health-related quality of life, scar quality, and aesthetic satisfaction in patients following microsurgical reconstructions of defects of the foot and ankle area.
