EnglishPURPOSE: Computer-aided design-computer-aided modeling (CAD-CAM) has become standard in mandibular reconstruction because it offers better outcomes. Occasionally, the reconstructive plans need to be changed intraoperatively and the custom-made prefabricated devices may become inadequate. We present an efficient adjunct to the standard CAD-CAM technique that resolves this problem. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Customized surgical devices with our "triple-cut" concept were used in 5 patients for mandibular reconstruction with free fibula flap (4 after mandibular resection for squamous cell carcinoma and 1 after mandibular osteoradionecrosis). In all patients the mandibular and fibular cutting guides were provided with 3 different cutting levels per side. RESULTS: Three different cutting levels on the mandible permitted an accurate resection based on the intraoperative needs. The corresponding 3 "cutting levels" on the fibula created perfectly matching segments of vascularized bone. Good contact of bony segments was obtained in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: The prefabricated triple-cut cutting guides make changing the dimensions of bony resection, while still using the prefabricated CAD-CAM reconstructive plate, possible.
