Abstract
Flaps that rotate or transpose around a cutaneous pedicle are restrained by the tethering effect of that base of tissue. Flap design that fails to adjust for this force may eventuate in unwanted degrees of tension and/or surrounding tissue displacement. This concept is discussed and illustrated for the rotation, rhombic, and bilobed flap.Entities:
