Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to establish a standardized, repeatable, and simple digital evaluation method for accurately determining the effect of computer-assisted free fibula mandibular reconstruction. METHODS: A total of 20 mandibular defect cases caused by tumors were analyzed retrospectively. The coronal, sagittal, and axial mandibular angles were measured and analyzed with Mimics Research 21.0 and 3-matic Research 13.0 software before and after surgery. The effect of computer-assisted free fibula mandibular reconstruction was evaluated. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Computer-assisted free fibula mandibular reconstruction can significantly improve 3D mandibular deformities caused by tumors and effectively restore the accurate symmetry of the mandibular anatomical structure. The evaluation method used in this study can accurately evaluate the effects of mandibular reconstruction and provide guidance to preoperative design.
