Extensive resection of a giant ameloblastoma tumor results in a large defect in both bone and skin tissues that poses a major challenge in their reconstruction. AnOsteocutaneous fibular free flap may be suitable for reconstruction of these complex defects. We describe two cases of reconstruction of complex maxillofacial osteocutaneous defects using an osteocutaneous fibular free flap. Postoperatively, the survived free flaps showed good aesthetic results. Hence, an osteocutaneous fibular free flap may be an appropriate choice to reconstruct large and complex multi-component maxillofacial defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
