| Abstract: | Summary Flaps of the lateral thigh area have been described; a new inferiorly based lateral thigh flap is presented. Examples of two patients treated with this flap are presented. One demonstrates the use of the flap as a pedicled island and the other as a free flap. Both flaps provided a satisfactory end result. The operative technique and the flap blood supply using pre- and postoperative angiography are described. |
