[Sequential Chimeric Osteocutaneous DCIA-Perforator-SIEA Flap to Reconstruct an Osteocutaneous Defect in the Lower Extremity and the Importance of Preserving the Ascending Branch - A Case Report].

Background: The deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) perforator flap is an established method to reconstruct osteocutaneous defects. However, the cutaneous perforators come with a great anatomic variability. To deal with this problem, we used a sequential chimeric osteocutaneous free flap for reconstruction.
