Sagittal split osteotomy of a vascularised iliac crest free flap to correct residual asymmetry and malocclusion in the reconstructed mandible

Reconstruction of the mandible with a vascularised bone graft from the iliac crest based on the deep circumflex iliac artery is an established and reliable technique. We report two cases in which mandibular asymmetry followed reconstruction with such grafts and was corrected by sagittal split osteot...
