The intramandibular sliding myo-osseous graft for delayed reconstruction of selected mandibular defects. A preliminary report.
A technique for re-establishing continuity of the mandibular bone using an intramandibular sliding myo-osseous graft is presented. The usefulness and the simplicity of this modified pedicled bone graft is shown and additional experience with the technique is now justified to give a full assessment of the procedure.
