    Author: Ruttle PE, Kelly PJ, Arnold PG, Irons GB, Fitzgerald RH.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1984 Jul; 15(3):451-9. PubMed ID: 6472829.
    Abstract:
    The use of local muscle flaps in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis is outlined. The defect treated must be in an anatomic location that permits rotation of the muscle flap. A recent review of 42 patients treated with this technique showed the local muscle flap to be efficacious in 39 of the 42 patients treated.
