The expanded myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of the difficult pressure sore.
This paper presents the use of the expanded myocutaneous flap for the reconstruction of the difficult pressure ulcer. The results of expanded myocutaneous flaps on 10 patients with a variety of locations of pressure ulcers showed few complications. A review of the literature on the use of expanded flaps indicates the potential for this technique to be more frequently used.
