Abstract
|
|
|
A retrospective review was carried out ten muscle and musculocutaneous flaps in the leg performed for traumatic and osteomyelitic defects in two groups of patients. One group of four patients with soft tissue defects resulting from trauma. Three of the four healded uneventfully; in one case, delayed healing was resulted due to minor loss of muscle flap.
The second group of five patients with defects resulting from chronic osteomyelitis. Four of the five healded relatively well; in one case, major loss of the flap was resulted due to hematoma.
This series illustrates that the technique of muscle and musculocutaneous flap transposition can provide a safe, relatively shaightfoward method of cover for defects of the leg from trauma and chronic osteomyelitis with predictable result.
