The free latissimus dorsi flap revisited: a primary option for coverage of wide recurrent lumbosacral defects.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The Moberg advancement flap is a well-established tool to provide sensate, vascularized tissue for thumb reconstruction. Modifications providing additional length have been described, but no studies have examined how much additional advancement can be achieved consistently, and at what cost. The authors hypo...
