The role of gastrocnemius muscle flap for reconstruction of large soft tissue defects after infected total knee arthroplasty

摘要


The surgical management of infected total knee arthroplasty remains a challenging therapeutic problem. The two-stage management has proven to be the reliable method of choice. The use of the gastrocnemius muscle flap has become a great "classic" for coverage of large soft tissue defects of the knee and proximal third of lower leg. A short review of literature including two short case presentations will highlight that procedure with or without required removal of implant and the specificities of the use of medial or lateral gastrocnemius muscle head are shown.
