“…In 1980, Dos Santos reported on the morphology of the scapular flap after injection of 70 cadavers and described primarily the transverse branch of the circumflex scapular artery (see Dunn et al, 1997). Other studies focussed on the blood supply of the dorsal thoracic fascia (Saijo, 1978;Gilbert and Teot, 1982;Hamilton and Morrison, 1982;Mayou et al, 1982;Urbaniak et al, 1982;Cormack and Lamberty, 1983;Batchelor and Bradsley, 1987). In particular, descending, parascapular (Nassif et al, 1982) and ascending branches (Ohashi et al, 1991) have been described.…”

“…Both flaps have been used for women because either donor site can be hidden under clothing. 16,17 However, postoperative circulatory disturbances occurred frequently in the groin¯ap transfer because of the small diameter of the super®cial circulatory iliac vessels. 18 However, the scapular¯ap has some advantages.…”

From 1982 to 1998, we treated 39 patients with type IIIB and IIIC fractures in the lower extremities by vascularized composite tissue transfers. Thirty-four of the lesions affected the lower leg, and 5 the foot and ankle. The peroneal flap was used in 25 cases, the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in 12, the scapula flap in 1, and the gracilis muscle flap in 1. In cases with a peroneal flap transfer, 18 cases used osteocutaneous flap with a fibula. Postoperative circulatory disturbances resulted in revision surgery in 9 patients. Eventually, grafting was successful in 37 patients. In patients with a lower leg reconstruction, additional bone grafting was performed in 7 of 16 patients with cutaneous or musculocutaneous flap transfers. No patient with osteocutaneous flap transfers required an additional bone grafting. The mean periods between injury and time to bone union were 11.7 months in patients with cutaneous flap transfers, and 7.5 months in patients with osteocutaneous flap transfers.

Microsurgical free flaps have become the first choice for reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial (OMF) defects after tumor resection. Till recently the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMC) was considered to be the benchmark for OMF reconstruction. This philosophy is changing fast with rapid advancement in reconstructive microsurgery.Years of innovation in reconstructive microsurgery has given us a reasonably good number of excellent flaps. Tremendous work has been put into producing some exceptionally brilliant research articles, sometimes contradicting each other. This has led to the need for clarity in some areas in this field.This article reviews the most common microvascular free flaps (MFF) namely, radial forearm free flap (RFFF), anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) and free fibula flap (FFF) that are commonly used in OMF reconstruction. Since they can cater to almost all sizeable defects we come across after ablative surgery in the OMF region, they can aptly be titled as the workhorses of OMF reconstruction with regard to free flaps.
