Abstract
- Fibular free flap reconstruction remains the workhorse of postmandibulectomy reconstruction. Dental implantation to support a dental prosthesis is a sought-after outcome when the area of resection involves tooth-bearing zones. Chronic perisoft tissue pedicle hyperplasia with secondary infection leading to gradual bone loss is a simple complication to manage in the general population, but it becomes a serious issue in the fibula mandibular reconstruction patient in that it can lead to pathological fracture of the fibula. A case of a patient with a near fracture of his fibula mandibular reconstruction, and its management via a minimally invasive approach is presented.<br /> (© 2020 by the American College of Prosthodontists.)
