Maxillectomy defects: Virtually comparing fibular and scapular free flap reconstructions

Background This study virtually compares patient‐specific fibular and scapular reconstructions for maxillectomies. Methods Nine maxillectomy defects were created on 10 maxillas and virtually reconstructed with patient‐specific fibulas and scapulas. Reconstructions were compared for restoring midface...

Zusammenfassung:Background This study virtually compares patient‐specific fibular and scapular reconstructions for maxillectomies. Methods Nine maxillectomy defects were created on 10 maxillas and virtually reconstructed with patient‐specific fibulas and scapulas. Reconstructions were compared for restoring midface cephalometrics, dental implantability, and pedicle length. Results Of 90 maxillectomy defects, the vertically oriented scapula provided improved orbital floor and maxillary height reconstructions (p
