Reconstruction of a socket using a retroauricular temporal flap.
The reconstruction of a continent socket with a skin graft may be difficult because of varying degrees of contracture. In an effort to solve this problem, a retroauricular temporal flap was successfully transposed in a two-stage procedure. The one-stage transposition of a retroauricular island flap based on a temporal pedicle was a partial failure.
