Descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) is commonly used pedicle for anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap.Oblique branch of LCFA is an altative pedicle that can be used in microvascular surgery.According to review of literature and to the best of our knowledge we could not find the use of oblique branch of LCFA as a pedicle of the ALT flap in regional soft tissue reconstruction.Here we presented a case of a 55-year-old man sustaining soft tissue injury and wound over the left trochanteric and gluteal region following a road traffic accident,who was treated by the use of extended ALT pedicle flap with oblique branch of LCFA as the pedicle for reconstruction of soft tissue defect in trochanteric and gluteal regions with successful outcome.
