Management of an Imminent Pathological Fracture of a Fibular Neomandible Via a Minimally‐Invasive Approach – A Case Report

Management of an Imminent Pathological Fracture of a Fibular Neomandible Via a Minimally‐Invasive Approach – A Case Report:

Abstract

Fibular free flap reconstruction remains the workhorse of the post‐mandibulectomy reconstruction. Dental implantation to support a dental prosthesis is a sought‐after outcome when the area of resection involves tooth‐bearing zones.

Chronic peri‐soft 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 gentleman with a near fracture of his fibula mandibular reconstruction, and its management via a minimally invasive approach is presented.
