Rebuilding jaw symmetry with leg bone flap
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to rebuild a large missing section of your lower jaw using a piece of your own leg bone (called a fibula flap). The goal is to see which method creates better facial symmetry and a more natural result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery to remove part of your lower jaw because of a tumor, injury, infection, or radiation damage.
- The missing piece of jaw bone must be larger than about 9 centimeters.
- You must be healthy enough to safely undergo the surgery.

This trial is studying a method to rebuild part of the lower jaw using a blood-supply bone replacement, so you can later get dental rehabilitation. It’s for adults who need a sizable, tumor-free jaw bone reconstruction and who can safely undergo surgery.
This trial tests a surgical technique that uses a flap of muscle and bone to repair small-to-medium defects in the floor of your mouth (the tissue under your tongue). The goal is to restore function and appearance after surgery or injury.
This trial tests a custom-made metal plate designed to replace a missing piece of your lower jaw bone. It may be a good option if you have a gap in your jaw from a tumor, infection, or injury, as long as the joint near your ear is not involved.
This trial is testing a bone plate used to rebuild the lower jaw after removing a non-cancerous growth. It may help patients who need surgery to remove a benign lesion from the center of their jawbone.
This trial studies current standard care for people who need jawbone reconstruction after cancer surgery. It aims to document the costs and outcomes of using a piece of bone from another part of the body (a free bone flap) to rebuild the face.
