“…A review of the literature was conducted utilizing PubMed, with the keywords “superior,” “lateral,” “genicular,” and “artery.” Twelve articles pertaining to the use of the SLGA flap were identified: two cadaveric studies 8 9 , four combined cadaveric studies and case series 3 5 6 7 , three case series 1 10 11 and three case reports 12 13 14 . Data pertaining to anatomy, patient characteristics, etiology, surgical details, and complications were compiled and the results were summarized ( Tables 1 Tables 2 3 ).…”

“…The SLGA originates from the popliteal artery at a mean distance of 40.07 mm proximal to the knee joint with a mean diameter of 1.78 mm at its origin 8 . It courses posterior to the femur in a superolateral direction until reaching the lateral intermuscular septum, where the SLGA pierces the deep fascia proximal to the lateral condyle of the femur and divides into superficial and deep branches 10 . The mean length from the origin of the SLGA to its termination is 7.44 cm 8 .…”

“…At the point where the SLGA divides into superficial and deep branches (about 50 mm from the plane of the knee joint) 10 , a consistently sizable cutaneous perforator emerges, running posterolaterally to supply the lateral skin of the thigh 7 . This cutaneous perforator terminates in small cutaneous branches and communicates with the lateral perforators of the profunda femoris ( Fig.…”

“…Potential perforators were marked, with Doppler assistance, 5–8 cm proximal to the lateral femoral condyle. The skin island of the flap was designed on the lateral aspect of the lower thigh, with the proximal limit at the midpoint between the greater trochanter and lateral femoral condyle 10 .…”

The superior lateral genicular artery flap for reconstruction of knee and proximal leg defects

et al. 2022

Reconstruction of defects around the knee region requires thin and pliable skin. The superior lateral genicular artery (SLGA) flap provides an excellent alternative to muscle-based flaps. The anatomy and the surgical techniques of the SLGA flap were reviewed and the results of cases using the SLGA flap for coverage of knee and proximal leg defects were analyzed. SLGA flaps were performed in two cases and followed up for at least 6 months. Twelve articles on the use of the SLGA flap were also identified. A review of 39 cases showed that the mean diameter of the perforator supplying the skin of the flap was 1.04 mm, while the mean diameter of the SLGA at its origin was 1.78 mm. The mean length of the pedicle measured from the origin of the popliteal artery was 7.44 cm. The average dimensions of the flap were 14.8×6.6 cm with primary closure of the donor site in 61.5% of cases. Of these cases, 38.5% were due to trauma, 23.1% were post-burn complications, 12.8% were defects after resection of tumors, and 10.3% were for ulcers post-bursectomy. The most common complication was flap tip necrosis. All studies reported favorable outcomes with complete wound healing.
