Patellar tendon reconstruction using a free latissimus dorsi flap following resection of a prepatellar myxofibrosarcoma: case report.

The authors' experience indicates that good functional results are achievable in cases with wide resection of the knee extensor mechanism. They report a low-grade myxoid fibrosarcoma patient in whom a one-stage functional reconstruction was carried out by transfer of a free latissimus dorsi flap without secondary surgical procedures.
