  • Title: The free scapular flap. An alternative to conventional flaps on the upper extremity.
    Author: Holmberg J, Ekerot L.
    Journal: Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg; 1986; 20(2):219-23. PubMed ID: 3541164.
    Abstract:
    The free scapular flap was used as an alternative to a conventional pedicle flap in resurfacing scarred areas and padding major nerve trunks on the upper extremities in a series of 8 patients. The free flap proved to be rather reliable (one failure), convenient to the patients and cheaper for the Health Service than a conventional flap.
