![]() The FHL can form good mucosa and make FFF rely less on skin paddle. The FHL-FFF simplifies the flap harvesting operation. ![]() Compared with FFF without FHL, FHL-FFF will neither affect the use of flap nor bring more problems. There were no significant differences ( P > 0.05) in hospital days, hospitalization expense, rate of perioperative complications, etc. ![]() We mainly used FHL to fill dead space, and the donor-site morbidity was slight. The perioperative clinical data of patients was collected and analyzed. Methodsįifty-four patients who underwent FFF were enrolled and divided into two groups: nFHL group (using FFF without FHL, 38 patients) and FHL group (using FHL-FFF, 16 patients). ![]() In this paper, we described the advantage and indication of FHL-FFF and conducted a retrospective study to compare FHL-FFF and FFF without FHL. To improve the use of FFF, we add the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) in the flap (FHL-FFF). The conventional FFF has deficiencies, such as forming poor oral mucosa, limited flap tissue, and perforator vessel variation. The fibular free flap (FFF) is one of the standard treatment choices for reconstruction. ![]() The repair and reconstruction of maxillary and mandibular extensive defects have put huge challenges to surgeons. ![]()
