  • Title: Tensor fascia lata myocutaneous free flaps.
    Author: Caffee HH, Asokan R.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1981 Aug; 68(2):195-200. PubMed ID: 7255579.
    Abstract:
    Twelve tensor fascia lata myocutaneous free flaps were done in 11 patients. There were 2 complete failures and 2 partial failures. The complete failures were related to problems with the recipient vessels. The flap has a reliable pedicle and vascular territory and can be transferred with its sensory nerve. Excessive bulk is a common problem, especially on the heel and ankle.
