Impact of the adjacent bone on pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flaps

Abstract Background Mechanical and morphological factors have both been described to influence the rate of pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction. By minimizing mechanical confounders, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of bone origin at the intersegmental gap on osseous union. Metho...
