We describe a patient in whom a large deformity in the buttock caused by a road crash was repaired with a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Distally-based TRAM flaps provide a good and reliable way of reconstructing the buttock. Its advantages are a long arc of rotation and well-vascularised bulky tissue that serve as a partition and promote quick healing of the defect. However, the flap is not the first choice for traumatic and infected wounds where fatty tissue is not desired.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessbuttockdeformitytransverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flapConference Object39295991601973610.1080/028443104100168442-s2.0-17444387052N/AWOS:000227762100006Q4
