Abstract
The fibula free tissue transplant has been used in mandibular reconstruction for several decades. Various techniques exist to shape and contour the fibula to restore continuity to the segmental mandible defect. Recently, virtual surgical planning has introduced the ability to use cutting guides to contour and create osteotomies for fibula free tissue reconstruction of the mandible. In this article, we describe a practical and reproducible technique to perform template-based fibula free tissue reconstruction of the mandible without the use of cutting guides.
