Combined iliac crest graft and short-scar pectoralis major flap for clavicular non-union reconstruction

Abstract

Recently, we reported defect coverage in the clavicular region with a scar-sparing pectoralis major flap. We successfully combine this flap with a clavicular reconstruction by an iliac bone graft for non-union now. We propose this reconstructive combination for cases of clavicular non-union with lack of soft tissue coverage.
