Article Synopsis
- The free fibular flap (FFF) is an effective method for reconstructing maxillofacial defects and serves as a viable alternative for patients with micrognathia when traditional surgeries can't be performed.
- A case study of a 28-year-old woman highlights the successful use of FFF for lengthening her mandible, after previous TMJ surgery caused difficulties in mouth opening and other functional challenges.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed significant improvements in aesthetics, occlusal function, and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, demonstrating the effectiveness of FFF in treating micrognathia.
