Abstract
• Measurements of the spine of the scapula in relationship to the trapezius-osteomuscular flap were made in a series of cadavers. These measurements enable estimation of the amount of available bone present and give the reconstructive surgeon a series of guidelines for using the trapezius-osteomuscular flap in correcting mandibular defects. A related phase of this investigation was the development of a roentgenographic technique using the 30° cephalic view of the shoulder for preoperative assessment of the spine of the scapula.
