[Restoration of an infected hip joint with sartorius-plasty].
For treatment of infected hip joints we use the proximally based sartorius muscle. After ligation of the vessels in the distal part of the muscle, the sartorius muscle is elevated and transposed to the floor of the deep joint cavity. By completely filling the space defect, reinfection of the osteomyelitic cavity is prevented. In addition, the transposed muscle flap directs optimal blood perfusion to the hypoxemic capsule tissue via its own vascular pedicle.
