title: [Possibilities for using the tensor fasciae latae flap].
abstract: The TFL flap is an unusual musculo-cutaneous flap because a large island of skin (three times the area of the muscle element) can be safely elevated on a small muscular pedicle. Because of this the flap has a wide application for the repair of defects in the groin, perineum and lower abdomen or to cover the trochanter, ischium and sacrum.
