title: The tensor fasciae latae flap and its use in the closure of trochanteric and ischial pressure sores.
abstract: Trochanteric and ischial pressure sores can be treated conservatively. There are various surgical procedures that can be attempted. The Tensor Fasciae Latae Flap is a new surgical approach to the problem. We have used this flap in a number of cases and propose to describe the anatomical basis and its use in the clinical situation.
