Does the free scapular flap with latissimus muscle reduce fistulas in mandibular reconstruction?
The scapular flap is reliable and contains sufficient bone to tolerate both multiple osteotomies and osseointegrated dental implants. The flap can be harvested in a slightly tilted decubital position, thus shortening the theatre time. The use of a separate muscle around the scapular bone in mandibular reconstruction is associated with a lower risk of oral fistulas.
Grb14 binds to the Y766 site of MDA-MB-231-FGFR, competing for PLCy activation, thus inducing an arrest of the signaling transduction cascades.
