Description
Summary:The surgical management of anterior neck contractures, related to burn injuries, is a challenging problem for reconstructive surgeons. The use of sensate expanded radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flaps in two patients suffering from anterior burn contractures of the neck is presented as an alternative method of surgical management. The advantages of employing sensate expanded radial forearm free flaps to reconstruct anterior neck contractures are also discussed in this paper.
