Abstract:
The osteocutaneous fibula free transfer with three segments of bone and the peroneal flap was used to reconstruct a total unilateral maxillectomy defect. Satisfactory restoration of three-dimensional facial structure, orbital support, and prosthesis wearing was achieved. The fibula osteocutaneous free flap is a very useful alternative for reconstructing a maxillectomy defect.
