Description
Summary:Purpose There is a dearth of literature dedicated to specifically evaluating the use of free flap reconstruction in pediatric lower extremity traumas. This study aims to identify specific risk factors for flap failure in pediatric lower extremity trauma reconstruction. Methods Retrospective review of 53 free flaps in our lower extremity database (1979‐2017) identified all free flaps performed for traumatic reconstruction in children
