The Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) flap is one of the most versatile options in reconstructive microsurgery, offering numerous advantages. Variations in ALT anatomy enable the creation of different types of multi-pedicle flaps, which aid in addressing complex injuries. This study involved 116 patients treated with the ALT flap for hand lesions, with a focus on 20 patients who received multipedicle flaps for complex hand defects. Among these, ten patients were treated with adipocutaneous multi-pedicled flaps for the coverage of defects, while the remaining ten patients received a combination of adipocutaneous and FL multi-pedicled flaps, which enabled both the covering of the skin and the reconstruction of the extensor tendon. Prior to thinning, the average thickness of the flaps was measured at 21 mm, which was subsequently reduced to an average of 6.5 mm following the thinning procedure. The overall survival rate of the flaps was 97.5 %, and two patients required defatting after one year. Patient satisfaction regarding both functional and aesthetic outcomes was reported to be high. Multi-pedicle flaps that incorporate two skin islands or combinations of skin islands and FL flaps have proven to be highly effective for complex, multi-unit hand reconstruction. The success of this technique is influenced by various factors, including the types and number of perforators, the composition of the flap, the methods used for thinning, and the specific arrangement of flaps tailored to each defect.</p>","PeriodicalId":45368,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand and Microsurgery","volume":"17 6","pages":"100336"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12391788/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through biomechanical analysis and clinical case reviews, we demonstrate that the conventional three-ligament tenodesis (3LT) scaphoid tunnel has high risk of resulting in a non-isometric volar scapho-trapezial (vST) ligament reconstruction, potentially exacerbating carpal instability. Additionally, trans-osseous techniques have risk of osteonecrosis and fracture, which can accelerate degenerative changes and necessitating salvage procedures. This paper will additionally highlight concerns regarding tendon graft viability, anchor failure, and the critical role of extrinsic ligaments in SL stability. It will also be shown that modular arthroscopic approaches, which focus on selective ligament repair, may provide better outcomes with fewer complications and lower morbidity compared to traditional reconstructions.
