Post-operative Complication at the Donor Site of Fibular Free Flap in a Pediatric Patient

The fibular free flap is most frequently used for reconstructing the mandible owing to the adequate length of the bone with a reliable blood supply. It has a long vascular pedicle with adequate vessel diameter for anastomosis and also a good amount of skin paddle for coverage. However, the reports o...

description The fibular free flap is most frequently used for reconstructing the mandible owing to the adequate length of the bone with a reliable blood supply. It has a long vascular pedicle with adequate vessel diameter for anastomosis and also a good amount of skin paddle for coverage. However, the reports of post-operative complications at the donor site among pediatric patients are scarce in the literature. We present a pediatric case of ankle valgus deformity following vascularized fibular harvest.
