Abstract
A 48-year-old man came to plastic surgery department because he suffered from extreme superior jaw atrophy. In order to restore both the vertical and sagittal bone loss, according to prosthetic criteria, a vascularized fibula flap was planned. Neither early nor late complications were detected at the donor site. Clinical and radiologic signs of osteointegration were found at all implant sites at the time of prosthetic loading. The success rate of loaded implants was 100%. Patient was both functionally and aesthetically satisfied with the results.
