The results of the use of the vascularized fibular graft for the reconstruction of posttraumatic defects of the mandible are presented. Different surgical procedures were applied in reconstruction of the mandibular defects in 120 wounded. In the last four years vascularized fibular graft was used in 11 mandibular reconstructions. Taking into account the survival rate of 100%, long vascular pedicle, strength, length and the possibilities of adaptation of the bone make this graft suitable for mandibular reconstruction. The functional and esthetic results obtained by the use of this graft were satisfactory, with minimal donor site morbidity.
