tensor fasciae latae, septocutaneous perforators
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible harvest of a tensor fasciae latae flap based on septocutaneous perforators.This study should further confirm our data from an anatomical study concerning location, distribution, diameter and differentiation of the perforators.
Interventions
Perforator flaps can be based on septocutaneous or musculocutaneous perforators. If septocutaneous perforators are present, the harvest of these flaps is more straight forward and the dissection of the pedicle is easy.
