Özet
Alveolar cleft reconstruction is important to increase the quality of life of cleft lip and palate patients. Usually, alveolar clefts can be reconstructed using bone grafts. However, bone grafting can be insufficient, and other alternatives may be necessary in wide and recalcitrant clefts. The medial femoral condyle (MFC) flap may be the solution for alveolar clefts that are impossible to reconstruct with bone grafting. In this study, the reconstruction of alveolar clefts in the pediatric cleft lip and palate population, using the MFC flap, is described. This study examined 9 pediatric patients whose alveolar clefts were reconstructed prospectively using MFC flap in 2015 and 2019. The age, gender, follow-up times, independent parameters, and existence of concomitant vestibulonasal fistulas of the patients were recorded. Computerized tomography images of the patients were evaluated to detect defect characteristics and evaluate the volume of flap postoperatively. Flap viability was confirmed with bone scintigraphy, and donor area morbidity was evaluated with the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) in the postoperative period. The study included 7 male and 2 female patients. The mean age of the patients was 13. In addition to an alveolar cleft, 6 patients also had vestibulonasal fistula. It was observed that the volume of the flaps had not changed one year after the operation. The DGI score of all the patients was 24. Existing techniques may be inadequate in the reconstruction of wide and recalcitrant alveolar clefts. MFC flap may be the start of a new era for the treatment of alveolar clefts.
