Résumé
Cutaneous substance loss in the leg is frequent; more often than not, it is trauma-related. It calls for complex management and necessitates the application of all current reconstruction techniques, particularly microsurgery. As regards treatment, the available therapeutic arsenal is highly diversified, ranging from a simple free flap skin graft to local and locoregional flaps. During reconstruction, the surgeon is subjected to several constraints insofar as the objectives of the operation are esthetic as well as functional. Ideally, the fineness of the skin covering the anterior side of the leg will have been scrupulously respected. Reconstruction is aimed at producing a stable and reliable cutaneous envelope while limiting the morbidity of the donor site. The development of free perforator flaps corresponds to these two criteria by producing a fine flap adapted to the cutaneous thickness of the leg and limiting any functional and esthetic sequelae at the donor site.
