Introduction of an algorithm for planning of autologous fibular transfer in mandibular reconstruction based on individual bone curvatures

ConclusionsWith the present approach, the complex three‐dimensional task of mandibular reconstruction was simplified, and thus it allows implementation in clinical routine. The computational planning that is proposed may be used to design cutting guides or as geometrical input data for real‐time navigated surgery.
