Abstract:
An inferiorly based rectus island flap was used to repair a large infected hip wound resulting from treatment of a posteriorly dislocated-comminuted acetabular fracture. The muscle island flap (based on the inferior epigastric vessels) allowed an extended arc of rotation to cover this laterally located wound.
