Hello,im trying to find someone who has had the same surgery as me,12 months ago i had a segmental mandibular,removing jaw,they told me they would rebuild my jaw with tibia from my leg,when i woke up they had used muscle from my thigh to fill my surgery and was left with what they call a swinging jaw,i have googled and tried to find out why they preferred to do it that way,i have seen many posts of worst cancers then mine that have had their jaw removed,but all where given bone as replacement,,im starting to think maybe they weren't expecting me to live very long,,im going to ask at my next appointment but any help would be good,
