RECRUITINGFlap Survival Rate
The percentage of flaps that survive completely without necrosis or partial loss. Complications will be graded (e.g., total flap loss, partial necrosis, or marginal necrosis). Unit: Percentage. Measurement Tool: ruler/(Mesure).
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Range of Motion in Reconstructed Area
Assessment of the range of motion in the reconstructed area. Unit: Degrees. Measurement Tool: Goniometer.
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Strength in Reconstructed Area
Evaluation of muscle strength in the reconstructed area. Unit: Newton (N). Measurement Tool: Dynamometer.
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
