While there are several texts readily available on flaps and reconstructive surgery, this book is an excellent resource on the use of vascularized bone flaps. Bone flaps are excellent tools for reconstructing complex defects, but many surgeons do not have extensive experience with their use.

This text highlights complex reconstructive scenarios where a variety of vascularized bone flaps are required, ranging from complex head and neck reconstruction to extremity trauma or tumor extirpation to novel concepts in spinal reconstruction. Chapters included here provide instruction on the use of various types of bone flaps, such as the fibula free flap, osseocutaneous radial forearm free flap, scapular bone flap, iliac crest flap, calvarial bone flap and more. The authors are well-established reconstructive surgeons who provide detailed descriptions of the anatomy of the flap, the harvest technique, trouble-shooting and real-world case examples. The book includes generous pre-, intra- and post-operative photos depicting where the flap was elevated and how it was used.
