Abstract

Introduction: Large skin defects over the forehead and scalp that are down to bone are often significant reconstructive challenges. Lack of local tissue elasticity precludes closure with simple flaps while multi-stage tissue expansion or free tissue transfer may be limited by patient co-morbidity and age. Grafting on to bare bone must be preceeded by procedures to stimulate granulation tissue, usually by drilling of the outer table.
