Optimizing functional outcomes in mandibular condyle reconstruction with the free fibula flap using CAD/CAM technology

Mandibular defects involving the condyle represent a complex reconstructive challenge for restoring proper function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as it requires precise bone graft alignment for full restoration of joint function. The use of CAD/CAM technology can aid in accurate reconstruction of mandibular condyle defects with a vascularized free fibula flap without the need for additional adjuncts. The purpose of this study is to analyze clinical and functional outcomes following reconstruction of mandibular condyle defects using only a free fibula graft with the help of virtual surgery techniques.
