Limited protective sensation and reduced spontaneous mobility in bed-ridden patients and para- and quadriplegics sometimes lead to the development of decubitus ulcers, despite good care. Predisposed sites include the pelvic region and bony protruberances above the sacrum, Tuber ischiadicum, and Trochanter major. While superficial decubitus ulcers can also heal under conservative wound treatment, higher-grade ulcers can only be induced to heal using surgical means and with myocutaneous flaps from the adjacent area (M. glutaeus maximus, M. tensor fasciae latae, M. vastus lateralis, and M. biceps femoris). The advantage of myocutaneous flaps lies in their certain blood supply, high resistance to infection, and a tamponing or cushioning functio...
