[Bipedicled fasciocutaneous flaps for coverage of defects of the knee].
We presented three cases in which two bipedicled fasciocutaneous flaps were used for coverage defects of the knee. These bipedicled flaps can be harvested to cover long and narrow sized defects on the anteromedial aspect of the knee region. This procedure is easy, quick and versatile without compromising the principal vessels and muscles of the leg.
