Various composite free flaps are available for reconstruction of bony head and neck defects. The aim of this study was to compare the relative success of four different bony free flaps. One hundred and seventy-three microvascular composite free flap reconstructions for bony defects of the head and neck region, performed over the period April 2008 to April 2015, were reviewed retrospectively. The type of free flap, indication for free flap reconstruction, age at harvesting of the free flap, use of pre- or postoperative radiotherapy, and free flap failure were examined. For the 173 reconstructions performed, 84 fibula free flaps, 43 iliac crest free flaps, 32 scapula free flaps, and 14 osteocutaneous radial forearm free flaps were harvested. The mean age at time of harvesting was 40.7 years for the iliac crest, 57.3 years for the fibula, 64.3 years for the scapula, and 73.9 years for the osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap. No complete free flap failure was documented, nor was there any failure of bony segments. Three fibula flap skin paddles did not survive. No returns to theatre for salvage were required. This study showed no difference in the survival rates of these four types of composite free flap.
