Ann Plast Surg. 1996 Oct;37(4):428-32. doi: 10.1097/00000637-199610000-00015.

Abstract

A case of coup de sabre, a linear form of scleroderma, is presented. Treatment consisted of soft-tissue expansion and autologous bone grafting to the forehead, a composite graft for alar reconstruction, and a scalp graft for eyebrow reconstruction. None of the linear scleroderma cases reported in the literature consisted of bony reconstruction.
