Pitfalls in flap design.

For many years plastic surgeons have been swinging geometrical flaps that do not fit to fill in skin defects. Yet the use of such flaps continues to be advocated in the literature, both here and abroad. It is time to take a more critical look at the flaps we design.

The rhombic flap.

The Limberg rhombic flap is one of the best techniques for covering a skin defect that is not amenable to straight-line closure. It is a simple, versatile technique that requires only the correct placement of a rhombic donor flap for its execution. An easy method is presented for planning the design of a rhombic flap to take full advantage of all its possibilities.

Choosing the correct Limberg flap.

A technique is presented for designing the 8 possible Limberg flaps to close any given rhomboidal defect. Then we show how to choose out of those 8 the only two that will be correctly oriented so the donor area of the Limberg flap can be closed with a minimal amount of tension.
