Use of Mitek Suture Anchors in Head and Neck Reconstruction

Attachment of soft tissue to bone is a common problem encountered in head and neck reconstruction. Soft-tissue attachment is encountered in the formation of slings to recreate oral competence. We report the use of the Mitek suture anchor in 7 head and neck reconstruction patients (5 underwent an attachment of a tensor fascia lata sling for oral competence and 2 underwent an attachment of a gracilis musculocutaneous free flap to recreate facial symmetry). Use of the Mitek anchor facilitates soft-tissue-to-bone attachment. Minimal dissection is required and secure bony fixation is obtained.
