 note = {Soft-tissue reconstruction in the knee area requires thin, pliable, and tough skin. To resurface the wound, many flaps are used, including free flaps, musculocutaneous flaps, axillary flaps, local flaps, and sometimes distant flaps. However, each flap has disadvantages. In this report, we present 2 cases of soft-tissue defects on the surface of the patella reconstructed with a pedicled soleus perforator flap, resulting in a successful outcome. Pedicled soleus perforator flaps enable the reconstruction of local soft-tissue defects of the patella without microvascular anastomoses and with minimal donor-site morbidity. We conclude that the pedicled soleus perforator flap is a favorable option for defect coverage around the knee, because of its fast and easy harvesting and very good esthetic results., Techniques in Knee Surgery, 11(3), pp.147-150; 2012},
