Abstract


 

In the reconstruction of clavicular defects, non-vasculer bone grefts or vascularized free compozite flaps are

usually prefered.

In this report, a 25 year old woman was presented with a 12 cm bone defect in left clavicula, together with a skin

defect of about 10x10 cm and left brachial plexus injury due to a gun-shot. After brachial plexus reconstruction,

soft tissue and bone defect were reconstructed with pedicled composite serratus anterior flap.

By this method, we implemented the rapid reconstruction of the clavicula and the soft tissue by vascularized

bone without using a free flap.

Key Words: Clavicula, Vascularized, Composite Seratus Anterior Flap
