The area of the biggest flap was 20 cm x 15 cm, the diameter of perforating vessel was above 1. 1 mm, with the length of free pedicle ranging from 2.0 - 3. 5 cm.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the flaps healed soon after operation, with no flap necrosis and postoperative complications, such as flap necrosis, wound infection and or formation. The color and texture of the flaps were good and the configuration was satisfactory. There was no recurrence of local bedsore in the follow-up period from 6 to 24 months.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The artery perforator-based flaps have the advantages of delicate texture, easy dissection, reliable blood flow, preservation of the gluteus maximus muscle and no need of skin grafting for the donor defects in most cases.
