Comparison of First and Full Union Rates in Free Fibula Mandible Reconstruction Utilizing Cadcam Vs Non Cadcam

摘要

As the complexity of free fibula based mandible reconstruction has increased, modern technology such as virtual surgical planning has become popularized in hopes of improving outcomes and simplifying surgery. This study represents the largest sample of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CADCAM) free fibula mandible reconstruction in the plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate if CADCAM when compared to standard, non-CADCAM, reconstructions demonstrated reduced time to first union and full union.
