Abstract:
In 12 patients with extensive lower jaw defects following tumor removal or after radioosteonecrosis, a free osteocutaneous iliac crest flap with microvascular anastomoses was used to reconstruct the lower jaw in a single session. The results are reported in brief for this group, in many of whom conditions were not optimal for transplantation because of previous surgery, infection, or radiological tissue damage.
