Abstract:

Objective To make a clinical retrospective analysis of reconstruction using autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft for patients with mandibular defects, and then to evaluate the treatment effectiveness and operation announcements of this method. Methods 34 patients who were suffered from discontinued mandibule because of tumor or trauma, were treated with autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft. The surgery technique, postoperative outcomes and complications were analyzed. Results In 34 patients adopted non-vascularized iliac bone graft, 31 patients adopted rigid internal fixation with titanium mini plate, 3 patients with bridging titanium plate. 27 bone grafts survived completely, the overall success rate was 79.41%. 3(8.82%) of the bone grafts healed after infection, 4(11.76%) bone grafts lost because of infection. Conclusion The autogenous non-vascularized iliac bone graft is one of the most important way for the reconstruction of mandibular defects. The methods of internal fixation includes titanium mini pate and bridging titanium plate.
