Sumario:The fibula free flap (FFF) is regarded as the gold standard in mandibular reconstruction. Dental rehabilitation is important to improve the health-related quality of life of patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction. FFF provides adequate cortical bone osseous tissue for use in dental implantation. The application of “axial split osteotomy” via a double-barrel fibula graft may enable discrepancies between the native mandible and FFF to be avoided, thereby improving the likelihood of early and successful dental rehabilitation.
