Background: Recent advances in microsurgical techniques have established free flaps as a cornerstone in complex orthopedic reconstructions, particularly in trauma, infection, and tumor resection cases requiring reliable soft tissue coverage for healing and functional recovery. Among them, the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is highly recognized for its versatility and consistency; Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of five patients who underwent orthopedic reconstructive surgery using a free ALT flap in our department. Demographic, surgical, and clinical data were collected, and outcomes were evaluated and compared with the current literature. Results: The ALT flap proved to be a reliable option across a wide range of orthopedic conditions, providing well-vascularized and adaptable tissue for complex reconstructions. Clinical outcomes in our series were consistent with the favorable results reported in the literature. Conclusions: The ALT flap served as one of the most effective and versatile solutions for orthopedic reconstruction. Its adaptability to diverse clinical scenarios, combined with reproducible positive outcomes, supports its role as a preferred option for managing challenging soft tissue in orthopedics, ultimately contributing to improved function and recovery.
