Anatomic basis for use of a gracilis muscle flap.

摘要: The aim of this study was to specify certain anatomic features the gracilis m. with a view use muscular or myocutaneous flaps. It based on dissection 84 muscles in 42 subjects as well selective injection main pedicle 20 muscles. This established following points : 1) arterial supply is abundant, consisting several pedicles reaching muscle its deep aspect. neurovascular arises from vessels thigh, via either a. adductors (73%), medial circumflex (19.2%) double both arteries (7.7%); 2) cutaneous vascularisation over m., derived solitary pedicle, inconstant. In injections, it satisfactory 11 cases, poor 5 and absent 4; 3) distal tendon closely related posterior branch saphenous n. leg, which crosses an elongated X; 4) A simple method calculation distance between upper border pubis femoral epicondyle allows quite precise determination point entry into 5) Complete adds available length flap.
