Double Fillet Flap for End-Stage Pelvic Pressure Injuries in a Paraplegic Patient

Abstract

Recurrent pelvic pressure injuries are common among paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury. Most of them experienced multiple surgical treatments because of recurrence. Based on the "spare part" concept, the double fillet flap is feasible when all other reconstructive procedures were exhausted. In this case report, we present the double fillet flap technique to manage recurrent extended pelvic pressure ulcers in a paraplegic spinal cord injury patient.
