Modification of the Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Myocutaneous Flap for the Reconstruction of Ischial Pressure Ulcers: A Retrospective Case Study of 21 Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In the authors' experience, because of constant blood supply, sufﬁcient bulk, easy elevation, longer pedicle for the arc of rotation, primary closure of the donor site without morbidity, and a non-weightbearing flap donor site, the pALT myocutaneous flap for ischial ulcer reconstruction can serve as a primary treatment and secondary salvage.
