Reconstruction of complex knee wounds with a distally based gracilis flap and gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap: A case report

A gastrocnemius muscle flap is a versatile option for covering the proximal one-third of the lower leg and around the knee. On the other hand, it is of limited use in patients with short gastrocnemius muscle or insufficient volume. The authors present a case in which a knee soft tissue defect occurr...

description A gastrocnemius muscle flap is a versatile option for covering the proximal one-third of the lower leg and around the knee. On the other hand, it is of limited use in patients with short gastrocnemius muscle or insufficient volume. The authors present a case in which a knee soft tissue defect occurred in a very thin patient and was reconstructed using a gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap and a distally based gracilis flap as a supplementary flap.
