. Management of complicated wounds after tumor extipiration of pelvic and proximal lower limb musculoskeletal sarcoma represents an essential component in the outcome of these patients. The authors present modified vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) flap techniques to reconstruct extensive defects after debridment of these complicated wounds. <italic>Material and Methods</italic>
. Over a period of 4 years (2002–2005), 5 men and 2 women were managed. Median age was 21 years (range 15–49). The patients were managed for complicated lower trunk, groin, and upper thigh wounds after resection of three pelvic chondrosarcomas as well as two pelvic and two proximal femur osteosarcomas. The modifications included a VRAM flap with lateral and tongue-like extension design of the skin paddle (5 cases) or a delayed extended VRAM flap (2 cases). <italic>Results</italic>
. All flaps showed complete survival and healing with no ischemic events providing stable coverage. All patients were ambulant with good limb functions in terms of walking and gait after adequate rehabilitation, 2 needed support with crutches. <italic>Conclusion</italic>
. The modified VRAM flaps offer reliable reconstructive tools for coverage of complex groin and thigh defects by providing larger well-vascularized soft tissue with acceptable donor site.</p>

<abstract><p><italic>Introduction and aim</italic>
. Management of complicated wounds after tumor extipiration of pelvic and proximal lower limb musculoskeletal sarcoma represents an essential component in the outcome of these patients. The authors present modified vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) flap techniques to reconstruct extensive defects after debridment of these complicated wounds. <italic>Material and Methods</italic>
. Over a period of 4 years (2002–2005), 5 men and 2 women were managed. Median age was 21 years (range 15–49). The patients were managed for complicated lower trunk, groin, and upper thigh wounds after resection of three pelvic chondrosarcomas as well as two pelvic and two proximal femur osteosarcomas. The modifications included a VRAM flap with lateral and tongue-like extension design of the skin paddle (5 cases) or a delayed extended VRAM flap (2 cases). <italic>Results</italic>
. All flaps showed complete survival and healing with no ischemic events providing stable coverage. All patients were ambulant with good limb functions in terms of walking and gait after adequate rehabilitation, 2 needed support with crutches. <italic>Conclusion</italic>
. The modified VRAM flaps offer reliable reconstructive tools for coverage of complex groin and thigh defects by providing larger well-vascularized soft tissue with acceptable donor site.</p>

<caption><p>(a) A two-week picture after delay procedure (surgical and vascular delay) for extended
inferiorly based VRAM flap. The arrow points to line of demarcation between nonperfused
and augmented perfused skin in the parasternal fasciocutaneous extension of the
VRAM flap. This extension provided additional predictable length of 7 cm for
coverage of exposed plate femur after osteosarcoma resection of the proximal femur. (b) Intraoperative
picture after harvesting of VRAM flap and debridement of necrotic thigh flap.
The VRAM extension marked by the suture markings of the delay procedure
provides the extra length avoiding tension and providing durable coverage. (c) Postoperative
picture 3 months during chemotherapy course showing complete survival of the
flap providing stable coverage and complete healing of the donor site.</p>

<caption><p>(a) Preoperative picture showing the dimensions and design of contralateral, laterally oriented
VRAM with a tongue-like extension. The arrow points to the necrotic thigh flap
advocated achieving adequate oncological resection for pelvic osteosarcoma. (b) Intraoperative
picture showing insetting of flap after debridment of the necrotic area. The
distal muscular component of the flap fills the composite defect which helps
resist infection in this potentially infected area. (c) Intraoperative
picture showing coverage of the defect with application of a split thickness
graft on the remaining muscular bed. The arrow points to the tongue-like skin
extension which avoids tension on the vascular pedicle especially after
dividing the origin and insertion and ensures adequate perfusion to the distal
portion of the flap. (d) Late postoperative picture 6 months after completion of chemotherapy course showing
complete survival of the flap with long-term durability and complete take of
the graft.</p>
