Abstract
Soleus muscle necrosis is a rare complication following fibula free flap harvest for mandibular reconstruction. This report presents a case of soleus necrosis without compartment syndrome or infection and reviews the blood supply of the soleus muscle in 24 patients. Variations in the vascular anatomy of the soleus muscle, particularly reliance on the peroneal artery, may predispose to this complication. Clinicians should consider soleus muscle necrosis in patients with atypical donor site pain after fibula harvest. Laryngoscope, 2024.
期刊介绍:
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
