The vessels were anastomosed with arteria and vena maxillaries externa. Results Nine patients were confirmed by 99m TcMDP 2-4 weeks after operation that the supply of blood was well and the graft bones were survival. By follow-up from 6 months to 3 years after operation, the fixations of graft bones were good.
