One of the most common problems in cord injury is pressure sores. In the early stage of pressure sores, the wound can be covered by advancing or transpositioning a local myocutaneous flap. However, it can be a great challenge to treat end-stage paraplegic patient who underwent multiple prior flaps, where continuous treatment is needed to prevent recurrent pressure sore due to infection and metabolic drain. In these patients, a local myocutaneous flap may be very difficult for coverage of the wounds. Therefore, hemipelvectomy may be considered. The authors performed a hemipelvectomy on a 33 year-old male paraplegic patient who presented with multiple, large wounds seen in end-stage pressure sores. He had a compression fracture of the lumber spine 9 years ago during a motor vehicle accident. After a wide exicision of the wound, the anterior flap was used as a fillet-flap for reconstruction. On the sixth day postoperatively, secondary repair was done due to wound dehiscence and the postoperative results have been satisfactory thus far.
