Abstract
Plastic surgery, since its inception, has been concerned with the restoration and reconstruction of body structures that are defective or have been damaged by injury or disease. Central to the armentarium of the plastic surgeon is the reconstructive skin flap. Recently the use of simple skin flaps has yielded increasingly to the use of composite flaps, which contain any combination of muscle, bone, or fascia in addition to skin and subcutaneous tissue.
