Extensions and further applications of muscle flap transposition.
Muscle flap transposition requires a precise knowledge of the vascular and functional anatomy of the muscles used. Safe, effective, one-stage transpositions can be performed in many body regions, as demonstrated in the brief review of our recent experience with this procedure. Our suggestions for further uses of these include distally-based muscle flaps, island muscle flaps, and myocutaneous flaps.
