Free flaps are a reliable method for reconstructing complex oral and maxillofacial traumatic defects, achieving a 100% success rate. Early reconstruction with these flaps improves outcomes and shortens treatment duration.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic defects in the oral and maxillofacial region pose significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Free flap transfer offers a versatile solution for complex tissue loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application, indications, and outcomes of free flaps in reconstructing oro-maxillofacial traumatic defects.
  • To assess the reliability and efficacy of free flap reconstruction in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of twenty consecutive cases of oro-maxillofacial traumatic defect reconstruction using free flaps.
  • Analysis of injury causes, defect types, flap selection, perioperative complications, and follow-up data.

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction

Published on: December 5, 2025

Main Results:

  • All twenty free flaps (11 fibula, 1 iliac crest, 7 radial forearm, 1 scapula) were successfully transferred, achieving a 100% success rate.
  • Reconstruction addressed both soft tissue (8 cases) and combined soft and hard tissue defects (12 cases).
  • No flap failures were reported in the study cohort.

Conclusions:

  • Free flap transfer is a dependable technique for reconstructing oro-maxillofacial traumatic soft and hard tissue defects.
  • Fibula and radial forearm flaps are frequently utilized and effective options.
  • Early reconstructive surgery with free flaps can prevent complications like scar contracture and improve functional and aesthetic outcomes.
