Since its description in 1977, the use of the biceps femoris musculocutaneous flap has been largely limited to reconstructions around the hip and perineum in paraplegic patients. The safety with which this flap can be transposed has been questioned owing to the segmental nature of its blood supply. Cadaver dissections in 10 fresh lower limbs showed that anterolateral transposition could be achieved without the need to sacrifice any of the major vascular pedicles (numbering two to three) which penetrate the long head of the muscle within 10 to 14 cm of the ischial tuberosity. We report on the use of this flap to resurface the anterolateral aspect of the lower thigh and restore stability and extension to the knee joint following extensive damage to the quadriceps mechanism.
