Abstract
|
|
|
|
High-voltage electrical burn injuries on the scalp often result in scalp and cranial bone necrosis. Repetitive debridements and rich-vascularized flap coverage of the cranium are required. However, despite successful flap coverage, chronic osteomyelitis of cranial bones may occur. Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of cranial bones is surgical debridement of the necrotic bone with re-coverage by a well-vascularized flap. The latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap is suitable not only for coverage of the cranium after the burn injury, but also for treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the skull.
