Conventional treatment of osteoradionecrosis of mandible is by antibiotics combined if necessary with a hemimandibulectomy. A method is proposed which reduces bone excision to infected and necrotic tissue while respecting mandibular continuity. The bone remaining is covered by a flap taken from a distant region. Five cases treated in this way are reported. When mandibular continuity has to be interrupted to suppress infected foci, immediate repair is performed using an osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap, and six cases treated by this method are reported. A part from their mechanical covering and reconstructing roles these well vascularized flaps improve vitality of tissues they enclose, including the mandibular bone.
