OBJECTIVE: We review the fibular free flap surgical procedure to illustrate the usefulness of preoperative lower limb MR angiography and to show how calf vascular anatomy on MR angiography affects patient surgical management. CONCLUSION: With its high positive predictive value and sensitivity, preoperative MR angiography can improve the chances of a successful outcome at the recipient mandibular site. It provides the reconstructive surgeon with a road map, revealing vascular anomalies or disease that could alter or contraindicate surgery.
