Lower limb traumatism has always been a problem for plastic surgeon when in the moment of the surgical reconstruction we have not microsurgical techniques. In this paper, we present 2 cases of knee reconstruction using a double gemelar muscular flap, showing how is possible the simultaneous use of the two muscles without aesthetic or functional sequels. As we know, there is no national or international report of cases with this muscular reconstruction; it has been usual to use only one muscle, in order to avoid problems in the flexo-extension movements of the foot.

Keywords : Knee; Gemelar muscular flap.
