Reconstruction of the Burned Ear Using a Temporalis Fascial Flap

A case report is presented in which a temporalis fascial flap is used to reconstruct a burned ear complicated by full-thickness skin loss with exposed cartilage. The method provides a simple, reliable means for covering exposed auricular cartilage with readily obtainable vascularized tissue. Donor-site morbidity is minimal because the scar lies within the hairline.
