  • Title: A novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction: use of radial forearm free tissue transfer combined with zygomaticus implants.
    Author: Hirsch DL, Howell KL, Levine JP.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2009 Nov; 67(11):2466-72. PubMed ID: 19837319.
    Abstract:
    Pathologic resections involving the maxilla/hemimaxilla offer a unique reconstructive challenge to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeon. Traditionally, reconstruction and replacement of lost tissues have been achieved with a variety of methods including obturators, local/regional flaps, and microvascular free tissue transfer. All these techniques have distinct disadvantages. We present a novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction using a combination of free tissue transfer and zygomaticus implants. To our knowledge, this specific technique has not been previously reported.
