1. Fillet flap for treatment of life-threatening pressure ulcer

Author

Gunnarsson, Gudjon Leifur, Høimyr, Hilde, Rossi, Paolo Emilio, and Thomsen, Jørn Bo

Abstract

A 71-year-old multi-morbid, paraplegic male with five pressure ulcers and a left-sided open trochanter fracture with chronic osteomyelitis was admitted to hospital. His condition required exarticulation of the left hip joint. A radical wound revision and a pedicled lower extremity fillet flap reconstruction of the defect was performed. The patient made uneventful recovery to normal activity within six weeks and had a stable result after one year follow-up. The case is a reminder of the importance of early intervention and preventive management of pressure ulcers and elaborates the benefits of interdisciplinary team efforts in the treatment of advanced ulcers.
