title: [Free vascular pedicle iliac bone graft for reconstruction of mandibular defect with ECT scan monitor].
abstract: Thirteen patients with mandibular defects after radical resection of mandibular cancer from Apr. 1984 to May 1987 are reported. There were 9 males and 4 females. The defects were repaired by free vascular pedicle iliac bone grafts. Of these patients, 11 satisfactorily healed as the grafted bone was examined by ECT scan autoradiography. The latter is considered as a reliable objective monitor and a scientific parameter to evaluate the viability of the grafted bone. Wide surgical indication, improved post-operative function, shortened treatment course in one-stage repair are favorable to the patients.
