Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor in which the tumor cells produce cartilage but not bone. The recommended management is wide local or radical excision, followed by surgical and prosthetic reconstruction. This article explains postsurgical prosthetic rehabilitation of a chondrosarcoma patient by means of intraoral acrylic, and extraoral silicone prosthesis for restoration of normal orofacial function and appearance.

Prosthetic rehabilitation in multifaceted dental abnormality needs sequential planning to ensure adaptation of oral and associated musculature. Reduction of tooth structure before adaptation of oral and associated components may complicate the treatment modality if compliance of the musculature is poor. Hence, the fabrication of over-provisional in esthetic rehabilitation enables to assess of the success of the treatment plan preoperatively before invasive trials.

Introduction And Objective: The Rehabilitation Definition for Research Purposes (RDRP), published in 2022 by Cochrane Rehabilitation, addresses discrepancies resulting from the multiplicity and heterogeneity of rehabilitation definitions hitherto used in the contexts of science, health, and social/legal aspects. The RDRP, based on the paradigm of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, provides clear-cut criteria for what rehabilitation includes and excludes. The final version of the RDRP achieved brad agreement among global stakeholders.

Article Synopsis
  • Pedicle ossification is a rare complication that can occur after using a fibular free flap (FFF) for mandibular reconstruction, potentially simulating tumor recurrence and leading to diagnostic challenges.
  • A case study of a 38-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma highlighted how postoperative complications led to the need for FFF reconstruction, and over 4 years, CT scans showed ossification in the flap's vascular pedicle, yet the patient remained asymptomatic.
  • Regular imaging and clinical assessments are key to distinguishing ossification from tumor recurrence, with surgery usually only considered if symptoms arise.
