Abstract
Purpose: The vascularized free fibula flap (VFFF) has become the popular reconstruction method after mandibular resection due to advantages of enough bone graft length and accepting dental implants. However, using a single fibula bone may have height discrepancy between the native mandible and grafted fibula which results in subsequent difficulty in wearing conventional dentures or osseintegrated implants. Several options could be used to resolve this problem such as delayed onlay bone graft, iliac bone reconstruction, fibula distraction and double barrel fibula flap graft. This article describes our experience in reconstruction of segmental mandible defect with double barrel fibula flap and denture rehabilitation.
