Unveiling the Learning Curve of Fibular Flap Lateral Approach Elevation: A Solo Surgeon's Journey
This study suggests that mastering the elevation of the fibular flap requires experience with seven to eight cases, within the duration of a single tourniquet application. The findings contribute to understanding the learning curve associated with fibular flap transplantation and provide valuable insights for surgical training.
