Patients who need reconstruction for defects of the lower extremities due to injury are often relatively young compared with patients who have ulcers on the lower extremities due to peripheral arterial deficiencies or diabetic foot.
Reconstruction of the lower extremities requires not only functionally and cosmetically good results, but also an efficient method for early readjustment to society. The hospitalization period for lower extremity reconstruction tends to be longer because the lower leg is a difficult reconstruction site, and 1 or 2 weeks are usually needed for elevation of an affected limb after surgery. Herein, we review case reports on lower limb reconstruction after injury, and discuss each method as well as possible treatment strategies for early readjustment to society.
