title: Bimaxillary reconstruction with a single free fibular osteoseptocutaneous flap.
abstract: Flap combinations including free fibula have been commonly used to reconstruct composite maxillomandibular defects. On the other hand, a single free osteoseptocutaneous may be rarely used to reconstruct the bimaxilla. In this article, we report a bimaxillary reconstruction in a 63-year-old man with a single fibular osteoseptocutaneous free flap.
