Knee revision arthroplasty following peri-prosthetic joint infections is a formidable challenge. Patients are at a high risk of recurrent infection, and the soft tissue over the revised implant is often of questionable quality. Flap reconstruction has improved the salvage rates of infected arthroplasties, and should be considered in all cases of revision arthroplasty. We present a challenging case requiring staged reconstruction with two free latissimus dorsi flaps after the initial use of a medial gastrocnemius flap.

The aim of this Biologic Advisory Group (BAG)
Malaysia consensus guideline is to provide
clinicians managing cutaneous diseases with
biologics relevant parameters to consider prior to
initiating or stopping or continuing any biologic
treatment in the current landscape of the COVID-19
pandemic. Besides reviewing the medical literatures
on COVID-19 and evidences related to other
human coronavirus or influenza, expert opinions
and clinical experiences are shared and debated in
formulation of this biologic consensus guideline.
