The free vascularized fibula flap has been widely used for clavicle reconstruction. Limited evidence exists for the long-term outcome of clavicle reconstruction using the free vascularized fibula flap in adults. We report the functional and aesthetic outcome in a 52-year old man a decade after clavicle reconstruction using a free vascularized fibula flap in combination with a modified Richardso...

Introduction: Advanced lip carcinomas can invade adjacent structures. Performing surgery for these cancers will lead to defects in this anatomically and functionally important area and will cause post-op difficulties such as drooling, speech alterations and aesthetic considerations, if not properly managed. Case Report: In this study, we will introduce a radial forearm free flap with palmari...
