Therefore, in patients who have undergone Girdlestone arthroplasty, filling the dead space and replacing the volume defect through an appropriate surgical technique is extremely challenging. This study presents a case series of vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius myocutaneous flap reconstruction after extended proximal femoral osteotomy in paraplegic patients. The aim of study is to investigate (i) whether sufficient volume replacement was achieved, (ii) whether muscle volume was maintained during long\u2010term follow\u2010up, and (iii) the presence of donor site morbidity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Method<\/jats:title>A retrospective review was conducted with eight patients who underwent this method from March 2017 to December 2021. A total of nine flaps was elevated, and the defect was successfully reconstructed without dead space. Computed tomography was performed to identify the changes in thickness and volume of the muscle portion. The Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test was performed to assess the significance of the differences in muscle thickness between pre\u2010 and post\u2010measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>After surgery, all patients healed within 1\u2009month; three patients experienced minor complications. The average follow\u2010up period was 14.5\u2009months, during which only one patient with an ischial pressure ulcer developed wound disruption and recurrence. The average thickness of the rotated muscle was 51.95\u2009mm at 2 to 4\u2009weeks postoperatively and 53.07\u2009mm at 6\u2009months postoperatively (\ud835\udc5d\u2009=\u20090.071).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>All nine cases healed well without major complications. When comparing the volume of the rotated muscle on radiological examinations before and after surgery, no significant differences were observed. Our modified Girdlestone resection technique provides a simple and reliable method for reconstructing complex trochanteric or ischial sores in paraplegic patients. It ensures anatomical consistency, ample volume, and structural stability by leaving the rectus femoris (RF) in place. Careful tension management is required when using this flap in the ischial area.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/os.13846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T05:41:50Z","timestamp":1692942110000},"page":"2612-2620","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Vastus
