Reconstructive flaps have revolutionized the ability of surgeons to restore function and cosmesis for patients. While reconstructive flaps have been used to bridge large defects due to oncologic or congenital maladies necessitating large debridements, few cases have observed salvage flaps in traumas which provide additional challenges secondary to an injury trajectory. This case report details use of an osteofasciocutaneous fibular free flap and radial head prosthesis to restore forearm function in a 64-year-old female with a comminuted fracture of the proximal radius. The patient has sustained a 5.5 cm epiphyseal radial defect with an associated 20 × 15 cm overlying tissue defect after serial debridement. In review of the literature, only one nontraumatic case using a combined free flap and radial head prosthesis for proximal forearm defect to restore joint function has been reported. We suggest that, for proximal forearm fractures, this technique can be used to restore elbow joint function in limb salvage.

Os defeitos mandibulares devido à ressecção de lesão óssea interferem a harmonia e estética facial comprometendo a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Grandes defeitos exigem planejamento minucioso, principalmente quando lançamos mão de enxertos e placas de reconstrução, evitando assim resultados insatisfatórios ou até mesmo sequelas. Apesar de algumas classificações dos defeitos mandibulares vêm sendo discutidas ao longo dos anos, ainda não há um protocolo definido para reconstrução mandibular. O uso de prototipagem na Cirurgia Bucomaxilofacial tem se tornado cada vez mais frequente; a precisão da reconstrução, diminuição do tempo de cirurgia reflete em recuperação mais rápida do paciente. Mesmo com a ferramenta da prototipagem, grandes lesões e perdas ósseas permanecem como grande desafio ao cirurgião.  O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de reconstrução mandibular no qual houve a necessidade de ser tratado com remoção de placa de reconstrução e nova reabilitação cirúrgica do paciente.Descritores: Mandíbula; Reconstrução Mandibular; Modelos Biológicos.ReferênciasSantos LCS, Seixas AM, Barbosa B, Cincura RNS.

Background Most reports on skeletal reconstruction using vascularized fibular free flap include patients with varying age groups and anatomic locations. This study has limited the inclusion criteria to pediatric and adolescent patients diagnosed with bone sarcoma of the femoral shaft. Methods Forty-one patients, diagnosed with a malignant bone tumor of the femoral shaft (21 Ewing's sarcomas and 20 osteosarcomas), were locally treated by joint sparing wide resection and reconstruction using a vascularized fibular free flap. All clinical and radiographic data were reviewed for graft healing and hypertrophy as well as oncologic and functional outcome. Results The mean follow-up period was 48.7 months (12–104 months). The mean age at presentation was 10.3 years (5–17 years). The average length of the resected femoral shaft was 19.2 cm (15–24 cm) and the average length of the harvested fibula was 17.4 cm (15–21 cm). The mean time to union was 4.8 months (1–6 months) and the mean hypertrophy index was 78% (15.5–184%). Complications included 12 fractures (33.3%), 5 non-unions (13.8%), and 5 failures of graft hypertrophy (13.8%). At the latest clinical evaluation, the mean MSTS score was 81% (56–100%) and the mean limb length inequality was 4.75 cm (3–11 cm). Conclusion Despite the high functional demand and deleterious effect of chemotherapy on bone healing, reconstruction of the femur by vascularized fibular free flap in pediatric bone sarcomas can lead to a good functional outcome. Complications, such as fracture and non-union, can be successfully treated by revision of fixation and autologous iliac crest grafting. Level of Evidence IV.
