Large trochanteric pressure sores can be reconstructed with the superolateral advancement of the distal gluteus maximus-posterior thigh myofascial cutaneous flap. The flap has a dual blood supply derived from the gluteal system and the deep femoral artery. This makes the distal gluteus maximus advancement flap very reliable and versatile. It can be designed on the musculocutaneous perforators of the gluteal system alone or on its dual circulation. It has several advantages over previously described flaps for trochanteric pressure sores.
