Abstract
The fibular free flap (FFF) is commonly used in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery to treat complex defects. There is a lack of comprehensive 3-dimensional (3D) analyses of the morphometric characteristics of the FFF perforators. The purpose of this 3D anatomical study was to: (1) construct high fidelity 3D models of the FFF perforators from origin to skin; (2) determine pedicle length for each cutaneous perforator originating from the peroneal (fibular) artery; (3) quantify circumference and
期刊介绍:
This monthly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Practice-applicable articles help develop the methods used to handle dentoalveolar surgery, facial injuries and deformities, TMJ disorders, oral cancer, jaw reconstruction, anesthesia and analgesia. The journal also includes specifics on new instruments and diagnostic equipment and modern therapeutic drugs and devices. Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is recommended for first or priority subscription by the Dental Section of the Medical Library Association.
