Expanded local and expanded axial-pattern flaps are widely used for the reconstruction of large-area scars. Free flaps are used very cautiously in children. 3D printing technology is a new technology with great development potential. 3D printing technology is used to assist in individualizing titanium alloy restorations for prefabricated skull defect repair. This application has great advantages in the repair of large skull loss. However, it is crucial to choose appropriate techniques and treat deformities of the head and face with integrated approaches and collaboration among multiple departments.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study proposes a method to combine the expanded flap method and 3D printing technology to achieve natural remodeling of the craniofacial region in a child.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Large area of head and face missing structures can be reconstructed by using expanded skin flaps combined with 3D printing, and patients can get better new faces.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13005-020-00219-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T09:04:05Z","timestamp":1583226245000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Perfect combination of the expanded flap and 3D printing technology in reconstructing a child\u2019s craniofacial region"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yanni","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongyan","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"219_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2016.08.009","volume":"44","author":"LL Pu","year":"2017","unstructured":"Pu LL, Wang C.
