Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is an increasingly common challenge for arthroplasty surgeons. The survivorship of rTKA is significantly lower than that of primary total knee arthroplasty, resulting in an increasing incidence of repeat rTKA. These cases present multifactorial challenges including the skin and soft-tissue envelopes, bone loss, ligamentous compromise, and often a history of periprosthetic joint infection.

Medially based abdominal transposition flap is a type C fasciocutaneous flap based on medial perforating vessels.
