[Variants of microsurgical autologous transplantation of composite skin flaps from the external surface of the hip].

Topographic anatomical investigations have established the possibility to make a new complex skin flap on the lateral surface of the femur on the branches of the second perforating artery and vein. The authors propose methods of making a transplant in this field on two vascular pedicles with anastomoses in one of them--a larger one and two separate flaps: a skin-fat and a muscular flaps on a single feeding pedicle. The experimental findings were confirmed by successful clinical observations.
