This article is the first in a series focusing on the reconstruction of defects of the head and neck created by the resection of a skin cancer. This series begins with a detailed description of specific types of local flaps, and is followed by articles emphasizing the options for reconstruction by anatomic site. The surgical technique for three workhorse flaps of the face are described: the bilobed flap, rhombic flap, and cervicofacial flaps.

Introduction: Blunt brachial artery injuries (BAI) require reconstruction with an extensive vein graft due to the wide area of arterial damage. In the upper arm, safe options for pedicle flaps are limited, and selecting recipient vessels for free-flap surgery is challenging, complicating the treatment of soft tissue injuries associated with blunt BAI. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and soft tissue reconstruction of blunt BAI and propose treatment strategies for treating associated soft tissue injuries.
