Contour and osteotomy of free fibula transplant using a ruler template.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fibula free tissue transplant has been used in mandibular reconstruction for several decades. Various techniques exist to shape and contour the fibula to restore continuity to the segmental mandible defect. Recently, virtual surgical planning has introduced the ability to use cutting guides to contour and create osteotomies for fibula free tissue reconstruction of the mandible. In this article, we describe a practical and reproducible technique to perform template-based fibula free tissue reconstruction of the mandible without the use of cutting guides.

Mandibular reconstruction using fibula free flap harvested using a customised cutting guide: how we do it
Free fibula flap is routinely used for mandibular reconstructions. For contouring the flap, multiple osteotomies should be shaped to reproduce the native mandibular contour. The bone segments should be fixed using a reconstructive plate. This plate is usually manually bent by the surgeon during surgery. This method is efficient, but during reconstruction it is complicated to reproduce the compl...
متن کاملLow-cost Design and Manufacturing of Surgical Guides for Mandibular Reconstruction Using a Fibula
BACKGROUND Surgical cutting guides are used in mandibular reconstruction involving osteotomy of the mandible and fibula. Cutting guides produced using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies have been reported recently. These guides aim to increase the benefits to patients by improving the accuracy, shortening the operating time, and correcting occlusion....
متن کاملMandibular odontogenic myxoma. Reconstructive considerations by means of the vascularized fibular free flap.
The odontogenic myxoma is a rare entity located in mandible and upper maxilla. Due to its local aggressiveness, wide surgical excision is mandatory. Several surgical techniques have been described for the reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects. In comparison with other free flaps, the vascularized free fibular flap (VFFF) supports the longest amount of bone and, due to the nature of the...

متن کاملA simplified guide ruler from numeric table method in doing rotational osteotomy
BACKGROUND Cobeljić et al. recently reported a numeric table method to provide precise rotational osteotomy which is a well established orthopaedic procedure. The numeric table requires four pages in length that is rather inconvenient during performing an osteotomy operation. METHODS We thus develop our own method by summarizing the data of the four-page table into a small ruler, which is eas...
