Frontal bandeau reconstruction with a fibula flap in a patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
A 29-year-old woman with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome had a history of recurrent frontal sinus infections for which she underwent a 1-stage frontal sinus obliteration and cranioplasty using a free fibula osteocutaneous flap. This case is unique in that a free fibula flap had never been used to obliterate the frontal sinus in a patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, nor had it been harvested from a limb with a clubfoot.
