Simultaneous bilateral free fibula transfer with virtual surgical planning enables total autogenous mandibular reconstruction. This novel approach improves anatomical accuracy, leading to better functional and aesthetic outcomes in complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Free fibula transfer is standard for mandibular reconstruction.
  • Total mandibular reconstruction presents unique challenges, often necessitating temporomandibular joint prostheses.

Observation:

  • A novel technique for total mandibular reconstruction using simultaneous bilateral free fibula transfer is presented.
  • Preoperative virtual surgical planning was employed for precise bone stock quantification and intraoperative fibula modeling.

Findings:

  • This method allows for a complete autogenous reconstruction of the mandible.
  • Virtual surgical planning facilitated accurate anatomical reconstruction.

Implications:
