Abstract
From January 1979 to April 1989, 19 neurosensory tensor fasciae latae flaps were used to cover ischial pressure sores in paraplegic patients. This flap provides protective sensation and improves the sensory control of the filling status of the rectum and the sitting control in a wheelchair. Patients were reexamined between 12 and 110 months; no recurrence or new pressure sores were seen. Indications, early and late complications, and evolution of the sensation are discussed.
