| Summary: | This is a case report of the mandible microsurgical reconstruction with osteocutaneous fibular flap in a 16-year-old patient. A victim of an assault with a firearm projectile and blunt trauma to the face, resulting in a comminuted mandible fracture, loss of dental elements, and extensive soft tissue injuries. After treatment of the acute phase, we chose microsurgical reconstruction with a free fibula flap due to the mandibular defect's extension and the possibility of dental rehabilitation. The use of three-dimensional models of the mandible and fibula was exceptionally helpful in making the best surgical planning of the osteotomy areas, decreasing the surgery flap's ischemia time. |
