Treatment of large defects in the pelvic limb by dorsal vascularized muscular flaps or myo-cutaneous flaps

ABSTRACT

25 patients with defects of soft tissue or complex defects of soft tissue and bone joint in the pelvic limbs received the dorsal vascularized myocutaneous transplantation and monitored continuously within 3 months - 9 years. The results have shown that the operations had a good outcomes, even complex lesions of soft tissue and bone such as open bone fracture, osteitis, bone defect. The dorsal vascularized myocutaneous flaps had a good viability and high antisepsis so that can be used in the bone operation or plastic reconstruction for defects of soft infected subchronically or chronically
