Abstract
The surgical treatment of sacral and trochanteric decubitus ulcers by the technique
of muscle transposition and skin grafting is described. This method of management
is particularly indicated in lesions where the defects are large and deep and in large
undermining lesions with minimal skin loss. Current methods of surgical management
are critically reviewed. Preoperative and operative considerations are described.
