Résumé
Wide hard palate defects include congenital and acquired defects that are six square centimeters or larger in size. Obturator prostheses and autologous soft tissue transfers have been used to reconstruct palatal defects. This study aims to repair wide, hard palatal defects by using a pronator quadratus musculo-osseous free flap to achieve subtotal reconstruction. Seventeen formalin-fixed cadavers were dissected. Free musculo-osseous pronator quadratus flaps were prepared after a 12 cm curvilinear volar skin incision. Standard 30 × 23 mm (690 ± 52.12 mm
