Abstract
We closed defects of the anterior chest wall in 6 patients, using either unilateral or bilateral pectoralis major muscle flap transpositions. In 4 of these patients the defect was stabilized with autogenous rib grafts, and none of these had a flail chest. All of the transposed muscle flaps remained viable and innervated. The deformities and the functional disturbances resulting from the transpositions were minimal.
