Lower Extremity Reconstruction: A Practical Guide (PDF +26 Videos)

By Joon Pio Hong (Author), Geoffrey Hallock (Author)

"I loved witnessing two generations of surgeons collaborating to encapsulate the origin, evolution, and advancements, as well as the current state and future of the field, all in one beautifully crafted and engaging book. This is undoubtedly a must-read and must-have book." – from the Foreword by Fu-Chan Wei, MD

Adequate evaluation of lower limb wounds for salvage necessitates a detailed assessment of vascular, osseous, soft tissue, and functional deficits. "Lower Extremity Reconstruction: A Practical Guide" by renowned reconstructive surgeons and perforator flap experts J.P. Hong and Geoffrey G. Hallock provides an orthoplastic approach to this increasingly complex area of microsurgery. Throughout this well-illustrated text and accompanying videos, a distinguished group of international surgeons share their pearls of wisdom and insights, including esoteric knowledge and step-by-step demonstrations of techniques with pertinent case examples.

This unique guide offers a practical, visual, and methodical approach to learning and mastering a comprehensive array of flap and microsurgery techniques for traumatic, dysvascular, metabolic, and oncologic lower limb defects. Organized into five sections, the book covers a full spectrum of lower extremity topics—from wound preparation, timing, closure alternatives, and therapy to soft-tissue tumors and a novel concept in drop foot treatment. Numerous videos illustrate how surgeons can leverage workhorse options to prevent chronic non-healing wounds or amputations and achieve the goal of limb salvage.

Key Highlights

• Techniques for lower extremity soft tissue reconstruction using local muscle and perforator workhorse flaps.
• Bone salvage and restoration techniques, including vascularized bone grafts.
• Diabetic foot management with an in-depth discussion of the SCIP flap and perforator-to-perforator concept.
• Rationales for partial and subtotal foot amputation.
• 26 videos and more than 500 illustrations to enhance understanding of microsurgical interventions.

With insights from leading microsurgeons on how to achieve optimal outcomes for patients with lower limb defects, this is an essential resource for plastic and orthopedic surgeons, particularly those specializing in trauma care.
