Abstract
Transplantation of the scapular bone vascularized by the thoracodorsal vessels offers some major advantages. This new myo-osseous grafting unit has the longest pedicle of all pedicled bone flaps used until now. It is particularly in difficult cases involving major parts of the maxillofacial region--as after neck dissection and irradiation--or distant regions such as the maxilla that its long pedicle and its anatomical configuration render the scapula an ideal graft.
