The Osteocutaneous
نویسنده
چکیده
Free osteocutaneous fibular grafts, revascularised by microvascular anastomoses, have been used for one-stage reconstruction of extensive bone and skin loss in the lower leg in seven patients. The addition of an integral skin flap to a vascularised fibular graft makes reconstruction of bone defects with significant skin loss possible, and the technique for designing and raising such a flap is presented. The advantages of this transfer over other microvascular osteocutaneous flaps are the available length of straight cortical bone, the large thin skin flap, the good diameter of the vascular pedicle and the fact that dissection is carried out under a tourniquet.

BACKGROUND Osteoradionecrosis is a delayed complication from radiation therapy which causes chronic pain, infection and constant deformity after necrosis. Most of the osteoradionecrosis occurs spontaneously or after the primary oncologic surgery, dental extraction or by trauma of prosthesis. The treatment of osteoradionecrosis relies on both conservative measures and surgical measures. The fibu...
متن کاملEnsuring Survivability of the Skin Island of the Free Iliac Osteocutaneous Flap with Double Arterial Inflow Techniques.
BACKGROUND: The iliac osteocutaneous flap provides excellent vascularized bone for hardware fixation and osseointegrated implants, but a main drawback is the reliability of the skin island. The purpose of our study was to present novel techniques to increase the reliability of the iliac osteocutaneous flap using vein grafting, resulting in a single flap donor site and a single set of recipient ...

Oromandibular reconstruction resulting from resection of benign tumor, malignant cancer, osteomyelitic or osteoradionecrotic mandible remains a challenge for plastic surgeons today. At present, fibula osteocutaneous flap is the perhaps most commonly used technique for oromandibular reconstruction because of its potential for contouring, immediate dental implant placement, and favorable donor si...
