Abstract：Objective To explore the treatment outcome of traumatic forefoot tissue loss reconstructions with free perforator flaps. Methods A total of 41 patients underwent traumatic forefoot tissue loss reconstructions with free perforator flaps. There were 5 types of free perforator flaps to be used in reconstructions:32 cases of free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, 2 cases of free fibular flaps,5 cases of free lateral arm perforator flaps,1 case of free medial arm perforator flap and 1 case of free thoracodorsal artery perforator flap. Results Patients were followed up for (26. 7 ± 9. 3) months. There were 38 ca-ses postoperative healed well,3 cases to be re-explored,1 case healed and 2 cases failed. The overall functional and cosmet-ic outcomes were excellent. Conclusion Forefoot reconstruction with a free perforator flap provides satisfactory cosmesis, normal weight-bearing and gait good function.
