Neuropathic pain at the donor-site following free fibula flap harvest: A multicenter study
One-fifth of all patients experienced neuropathic pain at the donor-site following FFF harvest. Younger patients and patients with donor-site complications are more prone to developing neuropathic pain. Future research should focus on analyses of surgical factors and optimalization of wound care to reduce the incidence of neuropathic pain.
