title: [Reconstructive operations on soft tissues in the treatment of bedsores in patients with spinal injuries].
abstract: The paper presents the results of plastic operations on 54 trochanterian bedsores in 48 patients with complicated spinal injury. Early positive results were obtained in 100% of cases when various modifications of a skin-subcutaneous flap was applied in 16 patients with 17 bedsores. There were relapses in 4 patients following a year. A full-layer skin-subcutaneous-fasciomuscular flap was employed in 33 patients with 37 bedsores. A poor result, namely flap non-acceptance, was seen in one case. Late relapses were absent. It is most expedient to use full-layer flaps in the treatment of bedsores in the tronchaterian area in terms of its anatomic features.
