  • Title: [Soft tissue and bone defects of the tibia. Treatment with pedicled muscle transfer and a microvascular anastomosed myocutaneous flap].
    Author: Schweiberer L, Betz A, Habermeyer P, Hertel P, Wilker D.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1985; 110(4):200-12. PubMed ID: 3885628.
    Abstract:
    The free tissue transfer by microvascular anastomoses has opened new dimensions in reconstructive surgery. However a free microvascular myocutaneous flap should only be used in case of a local pedicled flap being impossible. In treating complicated defects of soft tissue and bones a clear cut gradation of therapeutic steps has to be observed: 1. control of wound infection, 2. wound debridement, 3. soft tissue repair, 4. bone reconstruction.
