Role of Axial Split Osteotomy of Free Fibula Flap in Mandibular Reconstruction and Dental Rehabilitation

Summary:. The fibula free flap (FFF) is regarded as the gold standard in mandibular reconstruction. Dental rehabilitation is important to improve the health-related quality of life of patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction. FFF provides adequate cortical bone osseous tissue for use in dental...
