Limited information is available on the anatomical dimensions or density of fibula used in mandibular reconstructions. This study aimed to describe the morphology and dimensions of the fibula used to reconstruct segmental mandibular defects and contrast the findings with the native mandible.<h4>Methods</h4>A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy reconstructed with osteocutaneous fibula flaps and had at least one postoperative computed tomography scan. Fibula cross sectional dimensions and densities were evaluated with three-dimensional software. Radiographic measurements were obtained from the contralaPlastic and reconstructive surgeryAn Anatomic Analysis of Fibula Flap Mandible Reconstructions: Implications for Endosseous Implant Placement.PMC9305724P30 CA008748Goldman DAAllen RJNelson JAKyle Gazdeck RJones ENguyen JPHuryn JMMatros EPanchal HRosen EBfalseAn Anatomic Analysis of Fibula Flap Mandible Reconstructions: Implications for Endosseous Implant Placement.<h4>Background</h4>Precise planning and evaluation of the fibula bone are necessary if immediate endosseous implant placement is considered.
