Rebuilding soft tissue with a thigh flap
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses a flap of skin and muscle from your thigh to cover wounds on the hip, thigh, or lower belly that can't be stitched closed. It may help if you have a clean wound needing reconstruction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clean wound on the hip, thigh, or lower belly that cannot be stitched closed directly.
- The wound is from an injury, surgery, or another cause (non-traumatic).
- You do not have damage to the blood vessels in the area from past injury or surgery.
- You are willing to participate in this trial.

This trial tests a surgical technique using a skin flap from the back (called a TDAP flap) to repair defects in the upper body, such as after cancer surgery, injury, or scar release. It may help patients who need reconstructive surgery on the breast, shoulder, chest wall, or armpit.
This trial tests a surgical technique that rotates a skin flap from the outer side of the lower leg to cover large wounds on the lower leg, ankle, heel, or foot. It may be an option for patients who do not have serious blood flow or healing problems like diabetes or smoking.
This study looks at how blood flows through special skin flaps used in reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors better understand and predict how these flaps heal, especially for people who need repair after injuries or pressure sores.
This trial tests whether performing flap surgery sooner after a severe leg injury below the knee leads to better outcomes. If you have an open fracture or dislocation that needs a flap, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair small to medium-sized tissue defects in the floor of the mouth using a flap from nearby muscle and bone lining. It aims to improve healing and function after removing tumors or other lesions.
This trial studies whether a special suction dressing (negative pressure) helps healing at the skin-graft donor site for people getting a fibula free flap. It may reduce complications and improve how the graft takes, compared with standard care.
