Abstract
The osteocutaneous fibula flap has been used to reconstruct large segments of mandible in cases following ablation for cancer or radionecrosis. The bone can be cut to the appropriate shape and the fasciocutaneous flap may be used simultaneously to provide oral cavity lining or skin cover. The technique is described and its successful use in seven patients is reported with details of the complications encountered.Entities:
