With the advent of free flaps, pedicled flaps have taken somewhat of a backseat in reconstruction of post-surgical defects of the lower limb. However neither are all candidates suitable for free flaps nor is the procedure an easy one to perform in all centres provided the constrains of available facilities and operation theatre dates. In this retrospective and prospective study carried out in a tertiary care oncology centre in the north eastern part of india we review the outcome and feasibility of pedicled flaps for reconstruction after surgeries of lower limb malignant tumors.
