[Surgical treatment of decubitus ulcers in the area of the ischium, sacrum and trochanter major].

The operative management of pressure sores in the ischial, sacral and trochanteric region is based on the gluteus maximus muscle and its vascularization. Pressure sores in the sacral region were closed with eleven V-Y musculocutaneous flaps, for the ischial region with fifteen pendulum flaps, and for the trochanteric region with eight medial thigh flaps. In the four years follow-up of 24 patients three recurrences occurred and the post-operative morbidity was acceptable. The operative technique and the complications are further discussed.

[Prevention of decubitus ulcer by an elastomere matrix cushion].

We have measured and compared the mechanical properties of the skin, muscles and of a cushion designed to prevent bedsores. The mechanical properties of the tested material are intermediate to those of skin and muscles. They permit an even and optimal distribution of the pressures on the skin.
