Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most severe complications of radiotherapy in the head, having the greatest impact on patients’ quality of life. Previous studies have shown injury remission and cure rates for refractory osteoradionecrosis, i.e. ORN resistant to conventional treatment, using simultaneous techniques such as superficial debridement, midsize sequestrectomy and resective surgery along with drug therapy and hyperbaric chamber. The present case report describes the results obtained exclusively by a resection surgical approach to ORN and microsurgical reconstruction with musculocutaneous free thigh flap.
