Abstract

The method of lower limb reconstruction surgery is selected based on a patient’s underlying conditions, general conditions, and wound status, and it usually varies from direct closure to skin graft and flap coverage. Herein, we describe a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who developed critical limb ischemia after femoral cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used during knee disarticulation, which was followed by reconstruction of the defect around the knee using a pedicled anterolateral thigh flap and skin graft.

Key Words: Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Surgical flaps, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
