Table 4 Mean gap widths and volume changes of different gap sites (inferior/superior). Additional linear regression analysis including gap width and gap site (inferior/superior) as independent variables on volume change (dependent variable)
From: Impact of the adjacent bone on pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flaps
