A new compound osteo-myocutaneous free flap: the posterior iliac artery flap
British Journal of Plastic Surgery
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
A hitherto undescribed osteo-myocutaneous free flap is presented. It is based on a branch of the superficial branch of the superior gluteal artery and includes the posterior iliac crest, the posterior part of the gluteus maximus and medius muscles and the overlying skin. This type of flap has allowed us to reconstruct a bony defect of up to 8 cm in the tibia.
