Like Colleen, I am considering reconstruction with a fibular flap and have a few questions to add. If this was done at a different time than other treatment or surgery, how long was the hospital stay? One of my concerns is that I live in a 2 story home. Did you or your patient have any restrictions on going up and down stairs? Was PT required? Did you need a walker? For each of these questions for how long was this an issue? Have you experienced any problems with standing for a long time? Was any dental replacement performed such as implants? My dentist has recommended that I have reconstruction because my bite is shifting. Has any one had negative experiences following this surgery. Thanks, it is because I am considering this surgery that I came to OCF. Malka
