B M Bhagwat, and R M Pearl, and D R Laub

The rectus femoris myocutaneous flap is quite useful for definitive immediate coverage of complex wounds within its territorial arc. We describe 4 cases to illustrate the capabilities of this flap. The indications for, the anatomy of, and the surgical technique for transfer, as well as the functional sequelae in two nonparaplegic patients are discussed.
