Abstract
We describe a case of a leiomyosarcoma of the thigh, the resection of all the anterior muscular compartment, and the reanimation of knee extension, using a latissimus dorsi (LD) free flap and tendon transfer. Surgical technique and postoperative care management are described. Functional results, neuropathic pain, and range of motion (ROM) were assessed at 3 months and 12 months after discharge. A complete excision (R0) was carried out and rapid wound healing was obtained despite developing a seroma infection. The patient was able to walk without technical support nor limping at 3 months post-surgery. The patient was still in remission at 12 months follow-up, with Medical Research Council (MRC) scale assessed at 4/5 and ROM rated at 5-105°. In case of total quadriceps resection, knee extension reconstruction can be obtained with tendon transfers and reinnervated free muscular flaps. Combining these techniques could be a good strategy for rapid recovery, with optimal scarring and tissue coverage.
期刊介绍：
Qu''elle soit réparatrice après un traumatisme, pratiquée à la suite d''une malformation ou motivée par la gêne psychologique dans la vie du patient, la chirurgie plastique et esthétique touche toutes les parties du corps humain et concerne une large communauté de chirurgiens spécialisés.
Organe de la Société française de chirurgie plastique reconstructrice et esthétique, la revue publie 6 fois par an des éditoriaux, des mémoires originaux, des notes techniques, des faits cliniques, des actualités chirurgicales, des revues générales, des notes brèves, des lettres à la rédaction.
Sont également présentés des analyses d''articles et d''ouvrages, des comptes rendus de colloques, des informations professionnelles et un agenda des manifestations de la spécialité.
