  • Title: Muscle flap reconstruction of shoulder defects.
    Author: Dowden RV, McCraw JB.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1980 Jul; 5(4):382-90. PubMed ID: 6999073.
    Abstract:
    Defects of the shoulder area pose difficult problems for the hand surgeon, especially when associated with irradiation or exposed, infected bone. The development of muscle and myocutaneous flaps has greatly simplified the reconstruction of such defects. This report discusses the use of the pectoralis and the latissimus flaps for this purpose, with case examples and emphasis upon technique and applications.
