Ossifying Fibroma of the Mandible: A Case Report Using Vascularized Free Fibula Flap Reconstruction

We report a case of ossifying fibroma of the mandible in a 38-year-old woman. The mandibular resection involved the disarticulation of the condyle while preserving the articular disc. The segmental bony defect was then reconstructed with free fibula flap; the additional contouring of the distal fibu...

Zusammenfassung:We report a case of ossifying fibroma of the mandible in a 38-year-old woman. The mandibular resection involved the disarticulation of the condyle while preserving the articular disc. The segmental bony defect was then reconstructed with free fibula flap; the additional contouring of the distal fibular flap was performed during surgery to restore the patient’s condylar function. A 2-year follow-up revealed the maintenance of excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes.
