An analysis of the medial femoral condyle flap anatomy and the involvement of different tissue components for the reconstruction of complex defects

Aims: The reconstruction of complex defects involving various tissues still presents a challenge for reconstructive surgery and makes a combined flap indispensable. The mediodistal femur region (MDFR), which is supplied by the descending genicular artery (DGA), represents a unique donor site for har...
