Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Mandibular defects following oncological resection pose reconstruction challenges.
  • Accurate reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics.
  • Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) offer potential solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application of a computer-simulated fibular osteotomy guide for mandibular reconstruction.
  • To assess the efficacy of virtual modeling in achieving precise fibular segment angulation and placement.
  • To minimize bony gaps in fibular free flap reconstruction for oncological defects.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of facial and fibular bones was obtained.
  • A virtual computer simulation of the mandibular segmental defect was created.
  • Fibular segments were virtually segmented and angulated based on the simulation.
  • The virtual model guided the surgical reconstruction using a fibular free flap.

Main Results:

  • A virtual model of ideal mandibular reconstruction was generated.
  • The computer-simulated guide facilitated precise segmentation and angulation of fibular segments.
  • The virtual model aided in minimizing bony gaps during the surgical reconstruction.
  • Successful application of the technique in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-simulated fibular osteotomy guides are effective for mandibular reconstruction.
  • Virtual modeling enhances precision in fibular flap reconstruction for oncological defects.
  • This approach improves the accuracy of segment placement and reduces surgical complexity.
