Anatomical Research of the Clavicular Pedicled Flap for Mandibular Reconstruction

Plain-language summary

Because of the proximity of the clavicular bone to the oral cavity, and the suitable characteristics of the bone for implant placement, its use as a pedicled flap is an attractive method of mandibular reconstruction. This research, performed on fresh cadaver specimens, describes the vascular supply and harvesting technique of a pedicled clavicular bone allowing a mandibular reconstruction with a single surgical field.
