Assessment of Facial Symmetry Following Fibula Free Flap Fixated in a Prosthetically Favorable Position Versus the Inferior Border Position for Mandibular Reconstruction
Assessment of Facial Symmetry Following Fibula Free Flap Fixated in a Prosthetically Favorable Position Versus the Inferior Border Position for Mandibular Reconstruction: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Cairo University
26 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study aims to evaluate facial symmetry outcomes after mandibular reconstruction using fibula free flaps, comparing two fixation techniques: the prosthetically favorable position (alveolar level) and the conventional position (inferior border level).

Interventions
surgical technique used in reconstructive surgery where a segment of the fibula bone, along with its blood vessels, is taken from the lower leg and transplanted to reconstruct defects in the mandible due to its length, strength, and ability to support dental implants. The blood vessels are connected to nearby vessels at the reconstruction site to ensure the bone's survival and integration. The procedure is highly versatile and often referred to as the "gold standard" for mandibular reconstruction.
