Resumo

Using more of the true musculocutaneous (or proximal) portion of the tensor fascia lata enables the surgeon to augment its bulk, include bone in the flap, close the donor site primarily, and use the flap even if the distal fascial compartment has been damaged. Alternative designs, inclusion of bone in the flap, and tetracycline bone labeling are discussed.
