Osteomyocutaneous Free Fibula Flap Prevents Osteoradionecrosis and Osteomyelitis in Head and Neck Cancer Reconstruction.

abstract：:A comparison was made between several characteristics of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase (UK), potentially useful in microsurgery to restore perfusion to ischemic free-tissue transfers. An intraarterial infusion of one of the drugs (or normal saline [NS] as a control) was performed in conjunctio...
