Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible harvest of a tensor fasciae latae flap based on septocutaneous perforators.This study should further confirm our data from an anatomical study concerning location, distribution, diameter and differentiation of the perforators.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Enrollment: 14
• Est. completion date: May 2010
• Est. primary completion date: February 2010
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Both
• Age group: 16 Years to 71 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• soft tissue defect

• no previous operations in the thigh region

Exclusion Criteria:

• obese patients

Study Design

Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Soft Tissue Defect

Intervention

Other:
• septocutaneous perforator flap
Perforator flaps can be based on septocutaneous or musculocutaneous perforators. If septocutaneous perforators are present, the harvest of these flaps is more straight forward and the dissection of the pedicle is easy.
