Objective : To evaluate the clinical application of fasciocutaneous flap of medial knee in reparing post-traumatic soft tissue deformity below knee of children. Methods: Fasciocutaneous flap of medial knee was designed. From 1992
forteen cases of children with post-traumatic soft tissue deformity below knee were repaired by it
in which flap from the same lower leg was used in 3 cases
flap from anthor one was used in 11 cases. Sizes of flap were 11cm×4cm~14cm×11cm. Length of pedicle were 4cm~8cm. Results: All of fasciocutaneous flaps survived well except one with local necrosis. The followed-up was as long as 6 years with satisfactory results. Conclusion: Fasciocutaneous flap of medial knee would be a better choice for reparing post-traumatic soft tissue deformity below knee for children.
