ABSTRACT
nature, and often require bony support, as well as a mucosal lining for reconstruction. Therefore, midfacial bone and soft tissue defects present a unique challenge because they require a complex arrangement of tissues in a relatively limited space. This might be difficult to achieve only with free osteocutaneous flaps. The use of bone grafts allows greater flexibility in a reconstruction but is limited by graft resorption. We report a case of a patient reconstructed with a lateral arm free flap, iliac bone graft, sagital split ramus osteotomy for the reconstruction of a right maxillary defect zygomatico-maxillary defect caused by a zygomatico-maxillary malignant tumor resection.
