The Use of Absorbable Mesh in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: A 7-Year Review.

abstract：:A case was presented in which the late reconstruction of left ring and little metacarpal bone defects was carried out using a lengthening device and a double-barrel osteocutaneous free parascapular flap. With this flap, up to 14 cm of nearly straight bone of a suitable width and length for the reconstruction of two me...
