“…The gastrocnemius flap has historically been an excellent option for coverage of the knee particularly with periprosthetic infection, and this was the primary indication in our cohort. 28 30 As many as 52% of patients who undergo a gastrocnemius flap for coverage of an infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experience reinfection and require reoperation. Given the strong association between the gastrocnemius muscle flap, positive PDC, and wound breakdown, we decided to reanalyze our data with this subset of patients excluded.…”

“…The medial head of gastrocnemius muscle can be used as a flap in various types: island myocutaneous arterial flap, muscle flap with skin graft, distaly based flap, bipedicular flap, cross-leg flap and a free flap (14)(15)(16)(17).…”

“…We initially performed soft tissue reconstruction with a combined gastrocnemius flap and popliteo-posterior thigh fasciocutaneous island flap to treat the very wide burn scar ( Fig. 3) [9][10][11][12][13]. Eight weeks after reconstructive surgery of the soft tissue, we performed knee joint-bridging circular hexapod external fixation of the femur and the tibia [14][15][16].…”
