The paper aims to improve the operative technique of osteomyocutaneous iliac crest flap harvesting, further minimise morbidity of donor site, and improve the effect of recipient site reconstruction. From March 2005 to March 2011, 55 cases of osteomyocutaneous iliac crest flap harvested by different methods were performed to reconstruct the defects of the extremities. Twenty-nine cases were reconstructed with a traditional deep circumflex iliac artery osteomusculocutaneous flap.

Radiotherapy for tumors can cause soft tissue necrosis, osteonecrosis, and pathologic fractures. A 47-year-old woman presented with a pathologic fracture of the left clavicle 10 years after radiotherapy following radical mastectomy for breast cancer. She was treated with a compound rib-latissimus dorsi osteomusculocutaneous flap with a 4-cm segment of the sixth rib.

Objective: To improve the survival of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for prefabrication of an osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap.
Methods: In a mouse model, the compound of MSCs and p(3HB-co-3HH) were embeded in the latissimus dorsi muscle as an experimental group and the muscle pocket of the buttock as the control. The examinations of the HE staining, hybridization in situ of osteonectin mRNA and Von kossa staining were used to evaluate the results.

Restoration of oral and nasal function together with facial appearance is still challenging in maxillary reconstruction. Use of a composite flap transfer merely to fill the defect results in unsatisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. The authors present a reconstructive procedure for complex maxillary defects using the latissimus dorsi-scapular rib osteomusculocutaneous flap.
