Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The fibula is the preferred bone flap for mandibular reconstructions due to its many advantages, including the possibility to insert dental implants. All patients who received a mandibular reconstruction with a vascularized free fibula flap at the Uppsala University Hospital between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively examined regarding the proportion of implant insertion and factors that affected implant outcome. Forty-one patients had 42 fibula flap reconstructions. Eleven patients (27%) received dental implants and 8 (20%) completed dental rehabilitation. Patient death and cancer recurrence were the main reasons for not receiving implants. The survival rates of implants placed in irradiated and nonirradiated fibulas were 15% and 76%, respectively. Less than 20% of reconstructed patients received an implant-supported prosthesis. Implants placed in an irradiated fibula should be considered at high risk for implant loss.
