Hi All
Is there any other surgery besides a fibula free flap for a new mandible? I need an entire lower jaw. I am trying to research new procedures and have not been successful. My MD called it a Morbid Elective surgery with more risks than its worth. So here I sit waiting for my jaw to fracture. Im 22 years CANCER FREE but the effects from the radiation are horrific. (Constant jaw abscesses and a facial fistula)
If anyone has any info that could direct me, it would be greatly appreciated!
