Mandibular reconstruction using the skeletal pin fixation system

Excellent results were obtained in mandibular reconstruction by using the skeletal pin fixation system. The remaining bone was fixed before segmental resection. Case 1 was a 35-year-old male with a cementifying fibroma in the 2/6 region. We used the HH type pin fixation system and Kirschner wire (diameter 3.0 mm) for the fixation of the mandibular resection end. Case 2 was a 51-year-old male with an ameloblastoma in the 6/4 region. We used the HY type pin fixation system before mandibular resection. Case 3 was a 45-year-old female with an ossifying fibroma in the 6/4 region. The same fixation system was used as in case 2. In all cases, mandibular reconstruction was carried out with iliac bone graft and A-O plate.
