Mandibular Reconstruction with Tubed Pedicle Graft and Steel wire mesh in a case of Chondrosarcoma

Abstract

A case of very extensive, recurrent chondrosarcoma of the mandible is described. Appraisal of malignancy on the basis of the histological appearance can be extremely difficult in such cases. Because of the exceptionally large tissue defect it was necessary to use a tubed pedicle graft for mandibular reconstruction. A steel wire mesh was placed inside the tubed pedicle.
