摘要
The vastus lateralis muscle flap has been used extensively in the reconstruction of large defects of the pelvis and thigh.(1-6) Recently, portions of the vastus lateralis muscle have also been used as free microvascular transfers in the reconstruction of maxillofacial defects.(7-9) The whole vastus lateralis muscle is not commonly regarded as a useful free microvascular transfer when a large quantity of muscle is needed, despite the fact that its loss is well-tolerated.(3,5,9) In the case presented here, a large full-thickness chest-wall defect is successfully treated using a free vastus lateralis flap.
