TLDR
The anatomy and the arcs of rotation of this flap are described, including the use of a free osteomyocutaneous sensory TFL flap for reconstruction of the heel.Abstract:
Our experience with 60 TFL flaps is reviewed. The anatomy and the arcs of rotation of this flap are described. Our clinical experience--particularly in reconstruction of the groin and abdominal wall, and in free flap transfers--has been detailed, including the use of a free osteomyocutaneous sensory TFL flap for reconstruction of the heel.read more

The free thigh flap: a new free flap concept based on the septocutaneous artery
TL;DR: The thigh flap, with its large and long neuro-vascular pedicle, can be used either as a free flap or as an island flap as an alternative to the lower abdominal flap, groin flap, tensor fasciae latae myocutaneous flap, sartorius myocUTaneous flap or the gracilis myocutsaneous flap.

An algorithm for abdominal wall reconstruction.
TL;DR: A simple classification of abdominal wall defects based on size, depth, and location is provided and an algorithm is presented to guide the surgeon in selecting the optimal reconstructive technique.

Role of tensor fasciae latae in abdominal wall reconstruction
TL;DR: A review of abdominal wall reconstructions using tensor fasciae latae was completed to determine efficacy and establish guidelines for its use and found tip necrosis is significant in both types of vascularized flaps.
