The vastus lateralis muscle can provide a broad sheet of muscle for repair of defects of the lower abdomen, groin, perineum, hip, and ischium. The authors limit the use of the vastus lateralis muscle to situations in which more traditional techniques are not feasible. This muscle is especially suitable for defects involving irradiated tissue, infected bone, or infected prosthetic material. Although the vastus lateralis muscle has no cutaneous component, it may be used to augment an overlying tensor fascia lata flap.
股外侧肌可为下腹、腹股沟、会阴、髋部和坐骨的缺损修复提供一大片肌肉。作者将股外侧肌的使用限制在更传统技术不可行的情况下。该肌肉特别适用于涉及受辐射组织、感染骨或感染假体材料的缺损。虽然股外侧肌没有皮肤成分，但可用于增强覆盖其上的阔筋膜张肌皮瓣。
