Background: The objective of this study was to compare the pliability, the function, aesthetic outcome, complications and patient satisfaction between free anterolateral thigh flap and free medial sural artery perforator flap in reconstruction of post traumatic soft tissue defects of dorsum of the foot.  Method: The study was conducted on forty patients with post traumatic soft tissue defects of the dorsum of the foot between August 2018 and August 2019. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. In group1 (20 patients), the defects were reconstructed with free anterolateral thigh perforator flap. In group 2 (20 patients), reconstruction was done by free medial sural artery perforator flap.  Result: In group 1 (ALT flap), Complete flap survival was achieved in 100% of cases. Thirteen patients required secondary debulking procedures and scar revisions.  In group 2 (MSAP Flap), Complete flap survival was achieved in 85% with one flap totally lost and two flaps had distal necrosis. One patient needed scar revision and another patient needed flap advancement.  Conclusion: MSAP flap is superior to ALT flap. It has many advantages: it is thin, pliable, fitted to normal footwear, less hairy and there is no need for secondary procedures in most cases.
