Q

the length of scapular flap

A

flap offers
a segment of bone ofmoderate length-up to 13 cm long at the upper
end of its range-though only 1 to 2 cm wide

27
Q

The scapular tip has been shown to be useful in the
reconstruction of short-segment defects and isolated angular defects

lateral border provides more length in cases of longer
defects of the body

to participate in strenuous physical activity.

Q

A

F most patients
do not experience significant postoperative complications

39
Q

During manipulation of the fibular bone we reconstruct straight segments and curved segments

A

each segment must maintain at least 2 cm in length

40
Q

it is often necessary to achieve a watertight
intraoral closure, which is essential to prevent salivary leakage onto
the vascular pedicle

A

T

41
Q

flaps of up to 10 cm wide and traversing
the entire length of the bone flap can be harvested

A

F flaps of up to 5 cm wide and traversing
the entire length of the bone flap can be harvested

42
Q

if the patient requires a very large volume of
soft tissue, or both intraoral and external coverage, the distal end of
the peroneal pedicle can provide excellent flow through vessels for
transferring a second fasciocutaneous free flap in series

A

T

43
Q

The fibula
provides excellent bone stock for the use of osseointegrated implants and subsequent design and placement of a dental prosthesis

A

T

44

fibula provides the opportunity for condyle reconstruction, a relative
limitation of the other vascularized bone options

most children with congenital mandibular issues do not
require intervention in early infancy

A

T

46
Q

patients with absence of the vertical ramus, condyle, and
temporomandibular joint may require costochondral grafting at which age?

A

typically between 3 and 6 years ofage

47
Q

The major goals of reconstruction in these patients should be
alignment of the maxillary and mandibular dental midlines with the
midsagittal plane,

A

T

48
Q

though costochondral grafts
can have excellent growth with time, occasionally additional length is
still necessary as the child grows

A

49
Q

low-energy blunt trauma, som time need soft tissue reconstraction

A

these injuries do not include soft tissue loss,
comminution, periosteal stripping, or devascularization of bony fragments

50
Q

any defect greater than 6 cm and any patient who has been radiated or
will be radiated should be considered a prime candidate for vascularized bone reconstruction.

A

T

51
Q

the DCIA flap is
employed less frequently for purposes of mandibular reconstruction.
However, it can be useful for moderate length lateral segmental traumatic defects that also require soft tissue coverage, or similar defects
that occur in a radiated field

A

T

52
Q

the lateral border of the free scapula bone flap an excellent option in revision procedures

A

T

53
Q

the scapula flap does present a viable option for successful restoration of mandibular form and function, including
osseointegrated implant-based dental prostheses

A

T

54
Q

the bone stock is
usually dependent on the robust periosteal circulation, as this allows
for multiple segmental wedge osteotomies for incredibly versatile
shaping and manipulation in fibula flap

A

T

55

each segment must maintain at least 2 cm in length

the entire length of the bone flap can be harvested based on these
perforators and still closed primarily
