The thoracodorsal artery perforator/scapular bone chimeric flap offers a reliable solution for complex fronto-orbital defects. This single-stage reconstruction method is versatile for challenging composite forehead reconstructions.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Composite defects in the fronto-orbital region pose significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Autogenous reconstruction necessitates pliable skin flaps and precisely osteotomized bone grafts.
  • Previous reconstructive attempts or local tissue unavailability often complicate these defects.

Observation:

  • A patient with a traumatic fronto-orbital defect was treated.
  • The defect involved both soft tissue and bony components requiring complex reconstruction.
  • The thoracodorsal artery perforator/scapular bone chimeric flap was utilized for reconstruction.

Findings:

  • The thoracodorsal artery perforator/scapular bone chimeric flap enabled successful single-stage reconstruction.

  • This flap provided both the necessary pliable skin and the osteotomizable bone component.
  • The flap's design allowed for complex three-dimensional inset of tissue components.

    • Implications:

    • The thoracodorsal artery perforator/scapular bone chimeric flap is a versatile option for complex post-traumatic fronto-orbital defects.
    • The subscapular system serves as a valuable donor site for challenging composite reconstructions.
    • This technique offers a reliable solution when local reconstructive options are limited or have failed.
