Knee Reconstruction following Sarcoma Resection Utilizing Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Propeller Flap: A Case Series.

Coverage of knee wounds with exposure or violation of the joint capsule has long been a challenge to plastic surgeons. Wide resection and radiation treatment for soft-tissue sarcomas further this difficulty due to resultant diminished vascularity and soft tissue fibrosis. Traditional muscle flaps such as the gastrocnemius may be within the radiated field, limiting their arc of rotation to the knee.
