ALT flap with vascularized fascia lata for one-stage functional patellar tendon reconstruction

Composite Antero-Lateral Thigh (ALT) flap with vascularized fascia lata can reconstitute patellar tendon integrity and knee soft tissue coverage in one stage. However, long term evidence of outcomes is lacking. This work analyses long term functional results, comparing subtotal and total reconstruction of patellar tendon, and respective function of the extensor apparatus.
