Ma. Germain et al., ANATOMIC BASIS OF MANDIBULAR RECONSTRUCTION BY FREE VASCULARIZED FIBULAR GRAFT (25.10.91), Surgical and radiologic anatomy, 15(3), 1993, pp. 213-214
The free osteofascio-cutaneous fibular transplant is a direct developm
ent of the free fibular bone graft used from 1983 in reconstructive su
rgery of the long bones [1-3]. In 1989, Hidalgo [2] was the first to p
ublish a method of reconstruction of the mandible by composite free fi
bular transplants. The aim of this study was to specify the anatomy of
the osteofascio-cutaneous fibular graft and particularly of the vesse
ls to the skin. The sensory innervation of this transplant is describe
