Craniomaxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery Track: Jaw in the Day in a Pediatric Population: Is it feasible?

Immediate jaw reconstruction with vascularized tissue, dental implants, and the dental prosthesis was first performed by Levine and Hirsh in 2012. Since this time the technique has been refined and is now performed at numerous centers across the country. While this technique is predominately completed in adult patients, we postulate that despite the risks in the skeletally immature patient, this procedure can be completed in pediatric patients safely and with minimal modifications.
