Latissimus dorsal free muscle transfer, soft tissue defect

ABSTRACT

9 patients (male 7, ages of 14-73 suffered from the soft tissue defect in the leg received the plastic reconstruction by transferring latissimus dorsal free muscle flaps in the central army hospital 108 during 1991-1997. The results have shown that all latissimus dorsal free muscle flaps were living; the incisions were in the first stage. After 3-68 months of plastic surgery, the soft tissue defects were stable and there is no relapsed ostitis or infection.
