A free fibular flap is commonly used in adult mandibular reconstruction; however, its use in the pediatric population is not strongly supported. The authors are reporting the long-term update of a case of a pediatric patient who underwent a mandibular reconstruction using a free fibular flap after a resection of mandibular desmoid fibromatosis. Greatest growth was objectively measured and demonstrated at the condyle using a 3-dimensional model generated from Materialise software. This is 1 case and subsequent studies should be observed to further elucidate the full growth potential of the mandible in pediatric patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction.
