Abstract
Six patients who had delayed healing of the wound after total knee replacement were treated by appropriate débridement and restoration of soft-tissue coverage with local fasciocutaneous flaps. This procedure was successful; deep infection and failure of the arthroplasty did not develop in any patient.
