The free fibula flap is the choice flap for mandibular reconstruction following extensive tumor resections. While large defects are managed with a second flap [free or pedicle] in advanced centres, a free fibula flap with a large skin paddle that can be de-epithelised to provide outer skin and inner lining is the best alternative in resource- constrained centres.
