Donor Site Morbidity in Fibula Free Flaps: A Technique‐Dependent Comparative Analysis of Donor Site Wound Healing
Donor site morbidity following FFF harvest with skin paddles is significantly impacted by closure technique. Wound management using one- or two-stage STSG with NPWT is preferred. Initial results of the two-stage closure indicate potentially beneficial outcomes for extensive defects and warrant further prospective validation.
