Résumé
Defects around the knee exhibit various etiologies and pose challenges to both orthopedists and plastic surgeons. While a number of reconstructive coverage options are available, flaps are almost always required for complex defects. Many local flaps are easily placed, including muscle and perforator flaps sourced from the thigh to the leg. As the recipient vessels lie deep, free tissue transfers are challenging. Good postoperative management and efficient collaboration between orthopedic and reconstructive surgeons are the keys to successful knee reconstruction, restoring an esthetic contour and preserving joint function.
