About 62 percent of the patients with meningomyeloceles will have essentially normal sensation in the area supplied by the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (which is also the territory of the extended tensor fasciae latae flap), despite the fact that they may have complete anesthesia in their sitting area. In these, pressure sores can be healed and future ones prevented by transposing a sensation-bearing tensor fasciae latae flap to provide virtually normal sensibility in the sitting area.
约62%的脊髓脊膜膨出患者在股外侧皮神经所支配的区域（也是阔筋膜张肌肌皮瓣的供区）感觉基本正常，尽管他们的臀部区域可能完全没有感觉。对于这些患者，通过转移带有感觉功能的阔筋膜张肌肌皮瓣，可使臀部区域获得几乎正常的感觉，从而治愈已有的压疮并预防未来发生压疮。
