Background Mandibular defects can greatly affect patients' appearance and functionality. The preferred method to address this issue is reconstructive surgery using a fibular flap. The current personalized guide plate can improve the accuracy of osteotomy and reconstruction, but there are still some problems such as complex design process and time-consuming. Therefore, we modified the conventional template to serve the dual purpose of guiding the mandible and fibula osteotomy and facilitating the placement of the pre-bent titanium.Methods The surgery was simulated preoperatively using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology. The template and truncatable reconstruction model were produced in the laboratory using 3D printing. After pre-bending the titanium plate according to the contour, the reconstruction model was truncated and the screw trajectory was transferred to form a modified osteotomy and positioning integrative template system (MOPITS). Next, the patient underwent a composite template-guided vascularized fibula flap reconstruction of the mandible. All cases were reviewed for the total operative time and accuracy of surgery.Results The procedures involved 2-4 fibular segments in 15 patients, averaging 3 fibular segments per procedure. The osteotomy error is 1.01 +/- 1.02 mm, while the reconstruction angular error is 1.85 +/- 1.69(degrees). The preoperative and postoperative data were compared, and both p > 0.05. During the same operation, implant placement was performed on four patients, with an average operative time of 487.25 +/- 60.84 min. The remaining malignant tumor patients had an average operative time of 397.18 +/- 73.09 min. The average postoperative hospital stay was 12.95 +/- 3.29 days.Conclusions This study demonstrates the effectiveness of MOPITS in facilitating precise preoperative planning and intraoperative execution of fibula flap reconstruction. MOPITS represents a promising and reliable tool for reconstructive surgery, particularly for inexperienced surgeons navigating the challenges of mandible defect reconstruction.
