Abstract
Splitting a muscle flap produces significantly less necrosis than incising the inset, regardless of whether the pedicle is in flow. It also offers wider exposure of structures deep to the flap. These findings provide a detailed model for human trials, which is presented as a proposed management algorithm. It also highlights conditions that must be met for translation to a human population.
