Background: The reconstruction of traumatic soft tissue defects in the distal third of the leg is one of the most challenging problems in lower limb surgery. Among the most widely used techniques direct closure, skin grafting, local aps, pedicled ap and free ap are worthy of note. Usually, the
low mobility of the surrounding skin does not make a direct closure possible. Aim: Different surgical options in management of lower third leg defects.Material and method: The study was conducted from JANUARY2018 to December 2019, in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive
Surgery Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (IPGME & R) and SSKM Hospital, KOLKATA. Result: 70 patients admitted
to the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and referred patients from Department of General Surgery & Orthopaedic Surgery,
IPGME & R and SSKM Hospital, KOLKATA. We found that 30(42.9%) patients were female and 40(57.1%) patients were male. The mean age
(mean± s.d.) of patients was 38.2286 ± 18.4651 years. Conclusion: Fasciocutaneous aps may represent a good alternative to the free aps in the areas were other local reconstructive procedures are not possible
