Abstract
The surgical management of anterior neck contractures, related to burn injuries, is a challenging problem for reconstructive surgeons. The u se of sensate expanded radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flaps in tw o patients suffering from anterior burn contractures of the neck is pr esented as an alternative method of surgical management. The advantage s of employing sensate expanded radial forearm free flaps to reconstru ct anterior neck contractures are also discussed in this paper. (C) 19 96 Elsevier Science Ltd for ISBI.
