Abstract
This paper presents a new method of reconstructing the mandible after ablative surgery for cancer. This method uses autogenous grafts consis ting of the resected part of the mandible, which is hollowed out, defa tted in chloroform/methanol, sterilized with ethylene oxide, irradiate d with beta-radiation (dose 25 kGy), and stored for 7-10 months. At re implantation, they were filled with compressed, autogenous, particulat e cancellous bone. All grafts took, and four of six host-graft junctio ns healed.
