Abstract
Restoring shape and functions in patients with total mandibular defect is difficult. We report the use of a fibular bone graft for successful total mandibular reconstruction of a patient with traumatic injury to the mandible. A 56-year-old man experienced a work-related injury to the maxillo-facial region and underwent total mandibular resection. Five years later, he remains satisfied with his facial configuration and has minimal dysfunction in daily activities, including speaking, swallowing, and eating. Evaluation of the functional adaptation of his facial muscles by electromyography (EMG) showed that his orbicularis oris muscle may have compensated for masticatory muscle dysfunctions during mouth opening and swallowing.
