Accuracy of fibula reconstruction using patient-specific Cad/Cam plates: a multicenter study on 47 patients
Objectives: This prospective study evaluated the accuracy of mandibular reconstruction using free fibular flaps (by comparing virtual plans to the three-dimensional postoperative results), and the extent of bone-to-bone contact after computer-assisted surgery. Methods: We included 65 patients who underwent partial-continuity mandibular resections from February 2013 to January 2017, and evaluated virtual planning, surgical techniques, and accuracy. Results: Forty-seven patients were analysed. A total of 112 fibular segments received 54 implants.
