Abstract
Reconstruction plates with or without bone grafts are used to restore mandibular continuity, form and function following segmental resection of mandible. Fracture of reconstruction plate is observed in 2.9 % to 10% of cases reported in the literature excluding other complications. In this case, we report the fracture of stainless steel reconstruction plate used without bone graft and its management using locking reconstruction plate with non vascularised iliac crest graft following removal of the fractured plate. Review of literature describing incidence, pattern and causes of reconstruction plate fracture and its management is discussed.
