myAO CMF clinical case roundup on RFFF reconstruction of the Upper Lip
myAO CMF clinical case roundup on RFFF reconstruction of the Upper Lip 
The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is a flap with ideal characteristics for lip reconstruction because it is thin and can be folded to restore both the skin and the inner lining. 

In this month's CMF Clinical Case Roundup, myAO is featuring the CMF winning case of the Christmas clinical case competition from Dr. Alberto Rocha Pereira, from Hospital da Luz, Lisbon/Portugal, member of the Innovation in Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery group and owner of the group Distraction osteogenesis cases tips and tricks, along with a compilation of knowledge references on the topic.

We invite you to review this interesting clinical case and hope that you will find this knowledge update useful.
