Rates of bone reabsorption and union in mandibular reconstruction using the osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap

Historical concerns over bone resorption and malunion of the osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OCRFFF) limited its widespread adoption for head and neck reconstruction, despite lack of outcomes data evaluating this notion.
