Biomechanical integrity of hydroxyapatite/poly-l-lactide fixation system in mandibular body reconstruction with deep circumflex iliac artery free flap

The mechanical integrity of a deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) free flap connected to the remaining mandible after a segmental mandibulectomy directly influences the reconstructive surgery prognosis. This study aimed to assess the biomechanical integrity of fixation systems on the reconstruction...
