Electrical burn injury of the scalp — bone regrowth following application of latissimus dorsi free flap to the area

Abstract A large defect of the scalp was observed soon after debridement of a high-tension electrical burn of the scalp. Bone scan revealed no uptake of radioactive material to the parietal bone below the necrotic tissue of the scalp. Consecutive bone scans after latissimus dorsi free flap transfer revealed progressive regrowth of the bone.
