AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age over 18 years
* Able to provide informed consent
* A planned fibular free-flap reconstruction of the mandible
* Planned post operative surveillance CT scan 6 months following surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
* Clinically unfit or inappropriate (based upon prognosis/life expectancy) for reconstruction using free tissue transfer techniques
* Patients with planned surgical defects involving formal reconstruction of the condyle. (Clinical use of printed plates for condylar reconstructions would in effect be 'off-licence' and non-standard treatment which is beyond the remit of an observational research study).
* Flap failure within the study follow-up period, as this would require early removal of the flap and therefore preclude collection of follow-up outcome data. However, any flap failures (and associated clinical complications/events) will be recorded and reported.
