    Forehead reconstruction is possible using a bi-pedicled bone flap. This technique, based on temporalis muscles, is effective for patients with prior infections, confirmed by radio-isotope scanning.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Craniofacial Reconstruction
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Forehead reconstruction presents challenges, particularly in cases of prior infection.
    • Traditional methods may be limited by compromised tissue viability.
    • The temporalis muscle provides a robust vascular supply for bone grafts.

    Observation:

    • A novel technique utilizing a bi-pedicled bone flap based on temporalis muscles was employed for forehead reconstruction.
    • Post-operative radio-isotope scanning was performed to assess the viability of the transposed bone segment.
    • The patient had a history of previous infection in the affected area.

    Findings:

    • The bi-pedicled bone flap technique successfully reconstructed the forehead defect.
    • Radio-isotope scanning confirmed the viability and adequate blood supply of the transposed bone.

  • The method proved particularly useful in managing cases with a history of infection.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable solution for complex forehead reconstructions, especially post-infection.
    • It highlights the importance of vascularized bone flaps in craniofacial surgery.
    • Further studies could explore long-term outcomes and broader applications of this method.
