Abstract:
The application of musculo-cutaneous of the medial head of gastrocnemius for covering skin and soft tissues defects following total knee replacement in treatment for proximal tibial osteosarcoma in 4 patients is presented. In 2 patients the fascio-cutaneous flaps originated from lower leg were used to cover defects of anterior aspect of the knee after resection of dermatofibrosarcoma of the patellae and fibrohistiocytoma localized in proximal tibia.
