[Bone gammagraphy for evaluating free vascularized bone grafts in mandibular reconstruction]

In oncology jaw reconstruction, the probability of infection, sequestration and failure in scarring is high. For this reason, we use a vascularized free bone graft, whose direct blood flow makes it much more resistant to support the attendant properly. The use of bone scintigraphy by means of three phases acquisition technique is very effective to evaluate the viability of these vascularized grafts during the first days after surgery, in order to adjust the attendant treatments and to prevent the possible complications.
