The total gluteus maximus rotation and other gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flaps in the treatment of pressure ulcers. 1986

S Parkash, and S Banerjee

The use of musculocutaneous flaps in the treatment of pressure ulcers has been widely accepted. This study presents the results of the use of various types of gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flaps such as island flaps, advancement flaps and new total gluteus maximus rotation flaps with or without an inferior gluteal fasciocutaneous extension, in the treatment of pressure ulcers.
