Peter G. Cordeiro Classification
• Consists of 13 primary types of defects
• Addresses both soft tissue and bony defects
• Roman numeral (I, II, III) describes the bony defects
• Letter (A, B, C, D) describes soft tissue defects
• Reconstruction of mandibular defects

Algorithms to Approach Reconstruction of
Mandibular Defects
14
Type I defect: Anterior
15
Type IA defect: Defect due to a non-union after a
significant blunt trauma
16
Type II defect: Hemimandible
17
Type IIB2 defect : Adenoid cystic carcinoma
18
Type III defect: Lateral
19
Type IIID defect: Recurrent OSCC

Points to consider
Regarding surgery
• No bony reconstruction temporary solution
difficult dental rehabilitation
• Free bone graft limitation regarding size
Depending up recipient site
• Micro vascular osseous flap technically demanding
more resources
Donor site morbidity
21

Possible Reconstruction Options
• Fibula
• DCIA
• Scapula
• Free soft tissue flaps (ALT, Rectus abdominus, Latissmus Dorsi)
• Combination flaps
• Regional flaps (pect major , DP)
• Customized titanium prosthesis
• Plate followed by secondary reconstruction with free iliac graft 23
Fibula Free Flap
Pros:
• Length up to 25 cm
• Two skin islands possible
• Long and large vascular pedicle
• Different shapes due to variety of osteotomies possible
• Low level donor site morbidity
• Two team approach possible
Cons:
• Small height
• Donor site skin graft
• Preoperative imaging of vessels of lower leg
• Compartment syndrom
24
Addressing bone height discrepancy
Double barrel fibula
Vertical distraction of fibula
Custom plate with fibula placed superiorly
Fibula split + Iliac bone graft
25
Problems that rule out fibula
26
DCIA
• Inconstant cutaneous vessels
• Short vascular pedicle
• Good quality and quantity of bone
27
Free scapular flap
• Combination with free latissmus dorsi flap possible
• Long or short vascular pedicle
• Intraoperative patient shifting needed
• No two team approach
28
Conclusion
• Vascularized Free Fibula is gold standered for reconstruction of large mandibular defects
• DCIA is good alternative of fibula graft
• Free soft tissue flaps are good options for large lateral and hemi mandible defects
• Regional flaps can be used for mandibular reconstruction in patients not fit for extensive
reconstructive surgery
