Anterolateral-Thigh Fascia Lata Free Flap Versus Fibula Free Flap for Mandibular Osteoradionecrosis.

Though it did not reach statistical significance, there was a trend to initiate tube feedings more often following FFF compared to ALTFL for Grade IV ORN (73% vs. 30%; p = 0.05) and Grade III ORN (71% vs. 26%; p = 0.07).

Compared to both the peri‐operative complication rates of FFF demonstrated in this study (Grade III: 29% including flap loss; Grade IV: 33% including flap loss) and those found in published literature (30%–40%, not including flap loss), the complication rates of ALTFL in this study were notably lower (Grade III: 10%; Grade IV: 10%), albeit this relationship did not achieve significance.
