Abstract

The fibula free flap is rapidly becoming the donor site of choice for mandibular reconstruction. Its versatility makes it suitable for the majority of composite mandibular defects. The indications, operative techniques, and postoperative considerations are detailed in this article. Important principles of preoperative preparation, flap design, graft shaping, and bone fixation are included.
