Abstract
Free flaps from the fibula to rebuild the mandible have allowed for im proved results in the reconstruction of this bone. We propose a new an d more precise technique to further enhance the functional and estheti c reconstructive result. We base the planning for the free flap on spe cific measurements obtained on the cephalometric analysis. Preoperativ e angular determinations allow for more precise fibula osteotomies pri or to transection of the donor vessels.
