V-Y advancement modification of skin paddle design for the biceps femoris, tensor fascia lata, transverse lumbar, and gracilis flaps permits readvancement of each of these flaps for recurrent pressure ulcers. Our use of this refinement of these flaps over the past twelve years shows that up to two readvancements of each of these flaps can be done, thus preserving reconstructive options in a patient population prone to pressure ulcer recurrence.
