✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Five latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps (LD flap) were used for reconstruction with prostheses after resection of tumors between 1984 and 1991 in our hospital. Bony structures were reconstructed with prostheses and in three cases autoclaved autobone grafts were also needed. The prostheses and adjacent grafts were then wrapped by the LD flaps. Tumor sites included one humerus, two thighs, and two knees. All but one case healed primarily. The sole case of infection was successfully treated with debridement and irrigation. Due to the LD flaps' plentiful blood supply, we believe infection of the prosthetics can be avoided and good clinical results can be achieved using the flap with autoclaved autograft prosthetic composite reconstruction.
