Quality of life and subjective donor-site morbidity in patients after a free fibula flap

We evaluated the subjective donor-site morbidity and quality of life in patients with a free fibula flap (FFF) reconstruction in terms of self-reported symptoms, function and quality of life, and we compared inclusion vs. exclusion of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle in the graft, primary wound closure vs. skin graft and the occurrence vs. absence of donor-site complications.
