Bilateral Maxillary Reconstruction Using Fibular Flap in Bisphosphonate-related Osteonecrosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent reports have shown successful transfer of vascularized fibular flap in bisphosphonate-induced mandibular osteonecrosis. We present a case of a 50-year-old patient who presented with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of bilateral maxilla, which is reconstructed using a fibular flap.

AIM Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a serious oral complication of supportive cancer therapy and the best method of treatment is still unclear. The purpose of this article is to analyze the type of treatment and outcome in a large patient cohort with BRONJ. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 142 patients suffering from BRONJ at different sites were studied. All patient...
متن کاملDesigning a Fibular Flow-Through Flap with a Proximal Peroneal Perforator-Free Flap for Maxillary Reconstruction
Reconstruction of a composite maxillary defect is frequently performed with a fibular osteocutaneous free flap to address both the bony and mucosal defect. If during the harvest of the fibula a distal skin perforator is not present due to vascular variations, reconstruction can potentially be done using the soleus muscle for filling of the palatal mucosal defect. An additional challenge arises ...
متن کاملTotal Maxillary Reconstruction Using a Double-Barreled and Double Skin Paddle Fibular Flap after Total Maxillectomy
Chondroblastomas are rare entities accounting for approximately 1% of all primary bone tumors. We describe a case of a 7-year-old girl with a giant chondroblastoma of the maxilla, treated with bilateral class III maxillectomy and reconstruction with a double-barreled and double skin paddle fibular free flap. We show evidence of an excellent aesthetic outcome at 6 months' follow up with no evide...
متن کاملThe use of pedicled buccal fat pad combined with sequestrectomy in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the maxilla
The use of pedicled buccal fat pad flap (BFP) has proved of value for the closure of oroantral and oronasal communications and is a well-established tool in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Otherwise, the perceived limitations of surgical therapy for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) have been widely discussed, and recommendations have largely been made to offer aggressive...
