✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The fibula free flap has become an established flap for mandible reconstruction when vascularized bone is desirable. Recreating mandibular contour, providing soft tissue coverage, and restoring masticatory function are equally important in mandible reconstruction, and these can be provided by the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap. This article is a summary of the anatomy, indications, and operative technique of the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap accumulated from 49 consecutive mandible reconstructions. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The fibula can be used as a donor for a free flap for mandible reconstruction. It has the advantages of low donor site morbidity, consistent shape, ample length, and distant location to enable a two-team approach, allowing multiple osteotomies because of its periosteal circulation. It can be raised
