PANCORBO SANDOVAL, Enrique A. et al. Use of the pediculated muscle flaps in the solution of traumatic lesions and their sequelae in the lower limbs. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.

The results of a study on the use of different pediculated muscle flaps in the treatment of exposed fractures requiring a fast coverage and in those cases with chronic osteomyelitis that was conducted from February 1996 to February 2004 were presented. Diverse pediculated muscle flaps were used depending on the exposed area, with a previous preparation of the affected zone. The most used flap was the internal twin flap in 5 patients, followed by the vast external flap in 3 cases and the soleus muscle flap in 2 cases. Osteal cure was attained in 91.6 % of the patients that underwent surgery.
