Surgical tattooing as an aesthetic improvement in facial reconstruction with a free radial forearm flap.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nonunions in the upper extremity are challenging for the reconstructive surgeon. The evolution of microsurgical techniques has allowed for the reliable use of free vascularized bone flaps. METHODS:In a retrospective study, patients with challenging upper limb nonunions who underwent free vascularized cortic...
