OBJECTIVES: Bone resorption of more conventional vascularized bone grafts have been well described showing minimal resorption over time. Few studies have evaluated osseous union and bone resorption in scapula tip free flaps (STFF) in the reconstruction of mandibulectomy defects. We aimed to describe our series on STFF with respect to osseous union and bone resorption over time.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients receiving STFF from January 2014-January 2017 (n = 25). A neuroradiologist analyzed follow-up CT scans to assess (1) STFF complete, partial, or no osseous union with native mandible and (2) STFF volume change over time in a subset with multiple follow-up scans (n = 18).
RESULTS: Twenty-three of 25 patients (92%) showed complete or partial STFF osseous union with native mandible either distally or proximally. STFF volume change ranged from +4.8 to -54% (median -0.5%) over median follow-up interval of 23 months. History of chemoradiation therapy, bisphophonate use, sex, age, or smoking history did not correlate with bone resorption.
CONCLUSIONS: STFFs shows high rates of osseous union and limited bone resorption that is equivalent to, or less than, vascularized fibular and iliac crest flaps. Clinically, this translates into both optimal healing and functional and cosmetic outcomes, especially in the setting of prior therapies.
